 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=53873806&amp;newsitemid=20231221534522&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Core+Scientific%2C+Inc.&amp;index=1&amp;md5=65d2fcfd73dfe3f09a9339c8463193b9" 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 it has reached an agreement in principle with all key stakeholders on the terms of a global settlement (the “Global Settlement”) of its Chapter 11 cases.
 <a href="https://mms.businesswire.com/media/20231221534522/en/1936449/5/CS_Logo_Color_Vertical_2x.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img decoding="async" src="https://thenewscrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/CS_Logo_Color_Vertical_2x-8.jpg"></a> <a href="https://mms.businesswire.com/media/20231221534522/en/1936449/5/CS_Logo_Color_Vertical_2x.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img decoding="async" src="https://thenewscrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/CS_Logo_Color_Vertical_2x-9.jpg"></a>
 The Global Settlement reached with the Ad Hoc Noteholders Group, the Unsecured Creditors Committee, the Equity Committee, and B. Riley – the Company’s Debtor in Possession lender – represents a significant milestone in the Company’s Chapter 11 cases, allowing the Company to move forward with a consensual plan of reorganization and to proceed expeditiously towards confirmation and exit from Chapter 11.
 “The global settlement removes key hurdles to our anticipated emergence from Chapter 11 in January,” said Adam Sullivan, Core Scientific’s Chief Executive Officer. “With our team highly focused on operational excellence, a post-emergence pathway to de-lever our balance sheet and a plan for continued growth in 2024 and beyond, we are excited to pursue the opportunities ahead of us in the new year.”
 To provide the parties with additional time to finalize updates to the Company’s Chapter 11 Plan (the “Revised Plan”) and Disclosure Statement, and distribute the updated Plan and Disclosure Statement to certain voting creditors and equity holders, Core Scientific is adjourning the combined hearing to consider both (a) final approval of the Disclosure Statement and (b) confirmation of the Plan from December 22, 2023 to January 10, 2024 (the “Combined Hearing”). Core Scientific also intends to file a motion requesting that the Court modify certain dates and deadlines with respect to the Plan, including an extension of the deadlines to vote on the Plan or file an objection to the Plan. The Company expects to emerge from Chapter 11 in mid-to-late January 2024.
 In light of the Global Settlement and adjournment of the Combined Hearing, the deadline for participating in the Equity Rights Offering has been extended to Thursday, December 28, 2023.
