LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$AGREE #151_Bitcoin_Mined_December_2023–Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance,” or the “Company”), today announced that it is removing certain proposals previously intended to be voted upon at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”). On December 29, 2023, the Company announced that it had adjourned the Meeting from December 29, 2023 to January 12, 2024 due to the absence of quorum to conduct business.

Based on the absence of quorum to date, and the strong indications that quorum will be difficult to obtain by January 12, 2024 despite having engaged a solicitation agent, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) elected to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to reduce the percentage required to obtain quorum from a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company to thirty-five percent (35%) of such voting power, effective at the close of business Eastern Time on Thursday, January 11, 2024.

The Board also determined to remove from consideration the following three proposals in the Proxy Statement dated December 1, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) at the Meeting:

• To approve, pursuant to Rule 713(a) and (b) of the NYSE American, the conversion of the Company’s 10% Senior Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $17,519,832.00 into the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) as well as the exercise of the warrants to purchase such shares of Common Stock, each as issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement dated October 13, 2023;
• To approve, pursuant to Rule 713(a) and (b) of the NYSE American, the conversion of the Company’s 50,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock into Common Stock, and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, for a total purchase price of up to $50,000,000.00, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 6, 2023; and
• To approve, pursuant to Rule 713(a) of the NYSE American, (i) the issuance by the Company of additional shares of Common Stock, in a registered direct offering, underlying the Company’s Convertible Note in the principal amount of $2.2 million issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement dated September 27, 2023, as well as (ii) the right granted to the counterparty in the Exchange Agreement to purchase a note substantially identical to the Convertible Note in an amount of up to $3,300,000.

Consequently, the Meeting will be held for the following purposes:

• To elect the seven (7) director nominees named in the Proxy Statement to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders;
• To ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023;
• To approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock by a ratio of not less than one-for-five and not more than one-for-twenty-five at any time prior to December 28, 2024, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the Board in its sole discretion; and
• To approve the adjournment of the Meeting to a later date or time, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve any of the other proposals before the Meeting.
