About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a hybrid private equity firm and operating company that acquires, finances, builds and actively manages businesses across financial services, digital assets, industrial services, hospitality, defense technologies and other sectors.

Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in the second quarter of 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through Ault Lending, LLC, a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

LONDON, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FCM Travel has re-signed global design and consultancy organisation Arcadis to an industry-defining 10-year contract.

The agreement represents a significant long-term commitment in the travel management sector and solidifies a partnership built on shared innovation and trust.

The new agreement not only advances strategic planning and programme value but also consolidates Arcadis’s travel, FCM Meetings & Events, and FCM Consulting services under a single partnership.

This long-term alignment means less time lost to admin, more energy on strategic planning, proactive solutions, and future-ready service. Both teams can prioritise user experience, tech, and sustainable programme value, with FCM actively supporting Arcadis at every step.

By signing a 10-year partnership, Arcadis signals a deliberate move to safeguard its travellers, data, and investments. The trust placed in FCM highlights the security and consistency clients need now – credibility, proven worldwide capability, and futureproofing with proven innovation.

“Securing a 10-year partnership with a global leader like Arcadis validates our ‘alternative’ mindset in the corporate travel space,” said Melissa Elf, Global Managing Director, FCM Travel.

“Forward-thinking multi-national enterprises want a partner who will challenge the status quo and evolve with them. This level of commitment allows the implementation of a strategic, long-view innovation plan that isn’t possible within standard three-year cycles.”

Arcadis has been an FCM customer for three years and travels to over 25 countries worldwide. With the FCM Platform, Arcadis gains access to predictive analytics, global standardisation, and integrated meetings, events, and consulting.

Jo Lloyd, Global Head of Account Management for FCM Consulting, said the extension proved the value of the company’s approach. “Going from a three-year deal to a ten-year deal is thanks to the journey FCM is on and the belief we have in working with customers for dual progression.”

Ian Spearing, Arcadis Director of Travel, said the 10-year agreement was a testament to FCM’s reputation and credibility.

“Our long-term partnership with FCM is a strategic investment in collaborative innovation and service excellence. By working together, we’re able to deliver scalable, sustainable growth and streamline our operations to efficiently meet our clients’ evolving needs.

“This agreement ensures our teams have the right tools and support to deliver high-quality outcomes, enabling us to work more effectively with our clients and strengthen our supplier relationships.”

“In a service-led travel industry, it’s also about pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo, progressively building our travel function as a value driver for the business, not just a cost.”
