AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 21, 2026-- Core Scientific, Inc. (Nasdaq: CORZ) (“Core Scientific” or the “Company”), a leader in digital infrastructure for high-density colocation (“HDC”), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Core Scientific Finance I LLC (the “Issuer”), intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $3.3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund a debt service reserve account, and the remaining proceeds to make a distribution to Core Scientific. Core Scientific intends to use a portion of the net proceeds it receives from the Issuer to repay in full its outstanding delayed draw term loans under its previously announced 364-day credit facility, including accrued interest thereon and fees and expenses in connection therewith.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of Core Scientific Austin LLC, Core Scientific Denton LLC, Core Scientific Dalton LLC, Core Scientific Marble LLC and Core Scientific Muskogee LLC, which, as of the issue date, will constitute the Issuer’s only subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Notes and related note guarantees will be secured by first-priority liens on (i) substantially all assets of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, other than certain excluded property, (ii) all equity interests of the Issuer held by Core Scientific Finance Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the direct parent company of the Issuer, and (iii) certain assets and rights of Core Scientific.

Core Scientific will provide a customary completion guarantee with respect to the development and construction of certain data centers located in Dalton, Georgia; Denton, Texas; Marble, North Carolina; and Muskogee, Oklahoma (collectively, the “Projects”) under which it will fund the Issuer as necessary to ensure the timely completion of the Projects in the event that the proceeds of the Notes and other available funds are insufficient to do so.

The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether, when or on what terms the offering may be completed.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
