 AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–<a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CORZQ&amp;src=ctag" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$CORZQ</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#bitcoin</a>—<a target="_blank" href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.corescientific.com%2F&amp;esheet=53878561&amp;newsitemid=20240108505907&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Core+Scientific%2C+Inc.&amp;index=1&amp;md5=2b9651f7f58cd9f84584af430033fbcf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" shape="rect">Core Scientific, Inc.</a> (OTC: CORZQ) (“Core Scientific” or the “Company”), a leader in high-performance blockchain computing data centers and software solutions, today announced the final results of its $55 million Equity Rights Offering (“ERO”). The ERO was oversubscribed, and the aggregate subscriptions (including oversubscriptions) exceeded $55 million at which the ERO is capped.

 The subscription period for the ERO expired at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on January 5, 2024. The final results of the offering render the previously arranged ERO backstop funding unnecessary and represent another significant milestone in the Company’s path to emergence and re-listing.
 “The oversubscription for our equity rights offering signals shareholders’ strong confidence in our business and strategy,” said Adam Sullivan, Core Scientific’s Chief Executive Officer. “As a result of this successful raise, and following full repayment of previously drawn amounts on our DIP financing, we are set to emerge from Chapter 11 in January with enhanced liquidity and in a strong position to continue executing our growth plans.”
 Because the ERO is capped at $55 million, the total amount of oversubscription, if any, will be allocated pro rata among ERO participants who exercised their oversubscription rights based on the number of shares of reorganized Core Scientific each oversubscription participant subscribed for. Any excess payments made by ERO participants that exercised oversubscription rights, after giving effect to the proration and the $55 million maximum offering amount, will be returned to such ERO participants in accordance with the Company’s Rights Offering Procedures.
