Ault & Company Has Advanced $17.5 Million to Date Towards
Its Agreement to Fund Up to $40 Million Into Ault Alliance
Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding
company (“Ault Alliance” or the “Company”) today
provided an update that Ault & Company, Inc., a related party
(“Ault & Company”) has advanced and assumed $17.5
million to date towards the previously announced agreement to fund
up to $40 million into the Company.
The advancement and assumption to date from Ault & Company
of $17.5 million represents approximately $11.6 million of secured
promissory notes previously issued by the Company, which have been
assumed by Ault & Company, for which the Company has issued
term notes to Ault & Company in the same amount, which Ault
& Company has agreed to cancel, $4.6 million of loans made by
Ault & Company to the Company pursuant to a credit agreement
entered into between the parties in June 2023, which Ault &
Company has agreed to cancel, and $1.3 million related to 125,000
outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred
stock at stated value that Ault & Company has committed to
surrendering to the Company for retirement. Pursuant to the
agreement entered into between Ault Alliance and Ault &
Company, the Company would issue preferred stock and warrants to
Ault & Company for these advances and assumptions, which has
not occurred to date, as the Company has not received regulatory
approval, and which will expire by its terms on September 30, 2023.
The Company is committed to completing the agreement in principle
and continues to work with the regulatory authorities to find an
acceptable solution. Once regulatory approval is obtained as it
relates to this initial tranche, Ault & Company anticipates
that up to the remaining $22.5 million of commitments will be
funded in cash, for a total investment of $40 million.
Milton “Todd” Ault, III, Executive Chairman of Ault Alliance and
Chief Executive Officer of Ault & Company, stated, “With a
$17.5 million advancement over the last few months, we are staking
our belief in the intrinsic value of the Company’s assets - from
the crane business to the data center, including Bitcoin mining,
and key investments under the Ault Venture Group umbrella. With
Ault & Company’s intent to invest up to $40 million in total,
we are demonstrating Ault & Company’s and its principals’, some
of whom are also principals of the Company, dedication, and the
