     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Hyperscale Data, Inc., an AI-focused data center operator with roots in Bitcoin infrastructure, has announced a new Master Services Agreement (MSA) through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (ACS). Under the agreement, ACS will deliver colocation and data center support services to a California-based neocloud company at the firm's Michigan data center campus. <br />   <br />  The customer specializes in cloud and managed services, offering customized high-performance computing resources and scalable storage solutions in partnership with leading technology providers. <br />   <br />  The agreement calls for the deployment of 20 megawatts (MW) of AI computing capacity, which is expected to become operational during the fourth quarter of 2026. The customer also has the option to expand its footprint to as much as 52 MW of AI compute capacity. The contract carries an initial term of 10 years, with two additional five-year renewal options available. If the customer exercises the full 20-year term, the agreement is projected to generate more than $1.2 billion in revenue. <br />   <br />  In addition, the MSA grants the customer the right to secure an extra 32 MW of AI computing capacity. Should this expansion be activated within the first two years and remain in effect through both renewal periods, total contract revenue could exceed $3 billion. <br />   <br />  To support the initial deployment, ACS has begun acquiring critical electrical and infrastructure components and is retrofitting approximately 60,000 square feet of space at the Michigan campus. The estimated investment for preparing the site for the first 20 MW phase ranges between $100 million and $120 million. <br />   <br />  As AI infrastructure is brought online and customer workloads increase, Hyperscale Data plans to gradually redirect power resources currently dedicated to Bitcoin mining at the Michigan campus. The company expects to continue Bitcoin mining operations at its Montana facility and may maintain limited mining activity in Michigan during the transition. <br />   <br />  Chief Executive Officer William B. Horne stated that the project marks another step in transforming the Michigan facility from a Bitcoin mining operation into a modern AI and high-performance computing hub. He noted that the site is being positioned to deliver premium AI computing services and could begin generating substantial, high-margin revenue as early as late September 2026. <br />   <br />  Executive Chairman Milton "Todd" Ault III described the agreement as a major achievement for the company. He explained that while the Michigan campus currently supports roughly 28 MW of Bitcoin mining capacity, an increasing share of the site's resources will be dedicated to AI and advanced computing workloads as customer deployments ramp up. He added that the strategy is designed to maximize the long-term value of the campus while advancing plans to develop more than 300 MW of total power capacity. <br />   <br />  Hyperscale Data believes the Michigan campus offers significant future growth potential through phased expansion initiatives. However, any additional development remains subject to factors such as regulatory approvals, financing availability, infrastructure readiness, engineering assessments, and utility agreements. The company estimates that the site could ultimately support more than 300 MW of power capacity. <br />   <br />  Management emphasized that these expansion plans are still in the preliminary stages and face various risks and uncertainties. As a result, there is no guarantee that the proposed capacity increases will be approved, financed, constructed, or prove economically viable. <br />   <br />  The company encourages investors and stakeholders to review its public filings, investor updates, and official announcements for additional information regarding Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries.</div>

     </div>
     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Exyte, a global specialist in the design, engineering, and construction of advanced technology facilities, has been awarded three significant data center projects in the Greater Frankfurt area. Secured from leading hyperscale operators and major technology firms, the contracts have a combined value of nearly €750 million, recorded as order intake for 2026. The projects are also expected to create approximately 400 jobs across Germany. <br />   <br />  “These new awards highlight the growing importance of the data center sector within Exyte’s portfolio and reinforce its position as a major engine of growth,” said Mark Garvey, Chief Commercial Officer at Exyte. “With demand for artificial intelligence and cloud-based services expanding rapidly worldwide, reliable and scalable digital infrastructure is becoming essential for maintaining our clients’ competitive advantage.” <br />   <br />  The latest wins further strengthen Exyte’s reputation as a trusted partner for global technology companies and build upon its extensive experience delivering data center developments in the Frankfurt market. <br />   <br />  The three contracts encompass both the construction of new facilities and the expansion of existing sites, with all projects being executed simultaneously. Some of the work will be carried out within operational data centers, requiring meticulous planning and coordination to maintain uninterrupted service while increasing capacity. Together, the facilities will provide approximately 80 megawatts of IT load capacity and are scheduled for completion by 2028. Rapid and dependable delivery remains a critical priority as customers seek to expand infrastructure in response to rising demand. <br />   <br />  <strong>Workforce Expansion to Support Delivery</strong> <br />  To meet project requirements, Exyte plans to add around 400 positions in Germany. Approximately 150 roles will be filled through the redeployment of experienced personnel from other projects within the company, while the remaining 250 positions will be recruited externally. <br />   <br />  Hiring efforts will span a variety of disciplines, including engineering, technical services, project controls, construction management, and commissioning. Employees will work within international, multidisciplinary teams on large-scale infrastructure developments, contributing to technologies that support the future growth of AI and digital services. <br />   <br />  <strong>Advancing Digital Infrastructure for an AI-Driven Future</strong> <br />  The Frankfurt projects are part of a wider surge in investment across Europe’s data center sector. Growing AI adoption, increased reliance on cloud computing, and the need for secure and resilient digital ecosystems are driving demand for large, high-density facilities. <br />   <br />  “Data centers are now a cornerstone of modern economic infrastructure,” said Jürgen Raschendorfer, Chief Operating Officer for Exyte’s Continental Europe region. “These projects expand our established presence in Frankfurt and help clients increase capacity, improve resilience, and deliver next-generation digital services in one of Europe’s most important data center hubs.” <br />   <br />  <strong>Focus on Delivery Excellence</strong> <br />  Exyte attributes its success to a delivery model that combines advanced engineering expertise with highly standardized and industrialized construction methods. <br />   <br />  “What sets Exyte apart is our ability to execute large-scale data center programs with confidence in cost, schedule, and quality outcomes,” said Damian Farr, President of Exyte’s Global Business Unit Data Centers. “This capability is especially important in live operational environments, where careful coordination and integrated execution are essential to avoid disruptions.” <br />   <br />  Modern data center designs are also evolving to support higher power densities and sophisticated cooling technologies needed for AI-driven workloads. Exyte leverages offsite manufacturing and prefabrication techniques to accelerate project delivery, improve quality standards, and reduce construction risks. <br />   <br />  To meet increasing energy requirements, the company incorporates flexible power infrastructure and resilient backup systems that enhance operational reliability. Digitalized delivery and commissioning processes provide greater predictability across project timelines, costs, and quality metrics. In addition, Exyte’s established supply chain network and category management strategy help secure access to critical equipment and specialist partners despite ongoing market constraints. <br />   <br />  These capabilities enable customers to bring facilities online more quickly, achieve greater operational reliability, and expand digital infrastructure with confidence. <br />  &nbsp;</div>

     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A Message from GoDaddy’s CEO</strong> <br />  Our purpose is to empower entrepreneurs and ensure opportunities are accessible to everyone. This commitment unites our team. Most of our customers are small business owners, often with fewer than ten employees. Based on findings from our Venture Forward research, over half are solo entrepreneurs who manage every aspect of their business alone. Their resilience is inspiring—they support their families significantly, with around one in three contributing more than half of their household income. In the U.S., these entrepreneurs also strengthen their communities, generating an average of seven additional jobs each at the county level. <br />   <br />  <strong>Supporting Customers &amp; Communities</strong> <br />  We champion inclusive entrepreneurship by delivering cutting-edge technology and personal, human support. In 2024, we pushed boundaries with the launch of GoDaddy Airo®. This AI-powered tool helps users bring their ideas to life—suggesting business names, building websites, setting up emails, and creating social content—all with just a few simple inputs. Starting or growing a business has never been more accessible. And when support is needed, our Guides are always available to offer expert, one-on-one help. Last year alone, our team handled nearly 12 million inbound customer interactions, assisting entrepreneurs every step of the way. <br />   <br />  <strong>Our People &amp; Culture</strong> <br />  We’re incredibly proud of our employees—their dedication and performance continue to drive our success. The GoDaddy Leadership Team brings together diverse perspectives and global experience, enabling us to better serve our customers worldwide. We remain focused on fostering professional growth, offering our team members meaningful development opportunities to help them reach their full potential. <br />   <br />  Fair and equitable pay is a cornerstone of our culture. In 2024, we marked a decade of publishing gender pay equity data, along with eight consecutive years of reporting ethnicity pay data in the U.S. As our business expands internationally, we remain committed to fair compensation and to building a workforce that mirrors the diversity of our customer base. <br />   <br />  <strong>Responsible Practices &amp; Innovation</strong> <br />  Our unified GoDaddy Software Platform underpins innovation and business growth. We leverage artificial intelligence, data science, cloud technologies, and experimentation to drive speed, efficiency, and cost savings. We're committed to ethical AI use that supports our mission and adds real value to our customers. Our AI and Machine Learning Governance Council ensures we use these technologies responsibly, with strong oversight and safeguards in place. <br />   <br />  <strong>Environmental Responsibility</strong> <br />  We’ve set an ambitious new goal to cut our market-based scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2030, using 2019 as our baseline—after reaching our previous target ahead of schedule. Operating sustainably and complying with environmental regulations isn’t just good practice—it benefits our business, our customers, and the planet. With sustainability deeply embedded in our strategy, we’ll continue making strides through disciplined innovation and operational alignment. The work our team does today helps create long-term value for our stakeholders and strengthens the communities we serve. <br />   <br />  To learn more, read our&nbsp;<a class="link" href="https://social.godaddy/2024sustainability" target="_blank"><strong>2024 Sustainability Report</strong></a>.</div>
