Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Hyperscale Data, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) on July 18, 2024, the Company entered into a note 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, a $5,390,000 10% OID Convertible Promissory Note for $4,900,000 (the “Old Note”), which transaction closed on July 19, 2024. The Old Note had a maturity date of October 19, 2024.

 

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 10, 2024,  the Company and the Investor entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor agreed to forebear through the close of business on December 31, 2024, from exercising the rights and remedies it is entitled to under the Old Note, and any and all transaction documents related thereto, in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue a convertible promissory note in the amount of $853,067.93 (the “Forbearance Note”), which transaction closed on December 10, 2024.

 

On February 25, 2025, the Company and the Investor entered into an amended and restated forbearance agreement (the “A&R Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to forebear through the close of business on May 15, 2025, from exercising the rights and remedies it is entitled to under the Old Note, and any and all transaction documents related thereto, in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue the A&R Forbearance Note (as hereinafter defined).

 

Description of the A&R Forbearance Note

 

The Company issued to the Investor an amended and restated convertible promissory note in the amount of $3.5 million (the “A&R Forbearance Note”), consisting of (i) the amount then due under the Forbearance Note of $887,985.29, (ii) a forbearance extension fee of $311,916.67 and (iii) a true-up amount of $2,300,098.04. Subject to the approval by the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE”) and the Company’s stockholders (the “Stockholder Approval”), the A&R Forbearance Note shall be convertible into shares of class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”), at a conversion price equal to $2.00 (the “Conversion Price”). The A&R Forbearance Note will accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum and mature on May 15, 2025.

 

The A&R Forbearance Note is convertible at any time after NYSE approval of the Supplemental Listing Application and Stockholder Approval into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price, subject to adjustment. The Company may not issue Conversion Shares to the extent such issuances would be prohibited in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE unless the Company first obtains Stockholder Approval.

 

The A&R Forbearance Note contains standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to pay amounts due under the A&R Forbearance Note when required, default in covenants, bankruptcy events and suspension or delisting from trading of our Common Stock on an eligible exchange.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the A&R Forbearance Note and the A&R Forbearance Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the form of A&R Forbearance Note and A&R Forbearance Agreement which are annexed here as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
