SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | 28. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In accordance with FASB ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2020, and thru the date of this report being issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements except for the following. 2021 ATM Offering On January 22, 2021, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement, as amended on February 17, 2021 and thereafter on March 5, 2021 (the “2021 Sales Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, or the sales agent, relating to the sale of shares of Common Stock offered by a prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as amended by the amendments to the sales agreement dated February 16, 2021 and March 5, 2021. In accordance with the terms of the 2021 Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200,000,000 from time to time through the sales agent. As of March 5, 2021, the Company had sold an aggregate of 21,561,900 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the sales agreement for gross proceeds of $124,983,305. Issuance of common stock for conversion of debt During January 2021, principal and accrued interest of $200,000 and $15,948, respectively, on the Company’s debt securities was satisfied through the issuance of 183,214 shares of Common Stock. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $551,718 as a result of this issuance. Acquisition of Michigan Cloud Data Center On January 29, 2021, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ault Alliance, closed on the acquisition of a 617,000 square foot energy-efficient facility located on a 34.5 acre site in southern Michigan for a purchase price of $3,991,497. The purchase price was paid by the Company using its own working capital. The facility is subject to a final corrective measures plan with the Environment Protection Agency. The seller performed remedial activities at the Michigan facility relating to historical soil and groundwater contamination and the Company is responsible for ongoing monitoring and final remediation plans. The Company’s estimated cost of the environmental remediation obligation is approximately $300,000 and reflects its best estimate of probable future costs for remediation based on the current assessment data and regulatory obligations. Future costs will depend on many factors, including the extent of work necessary to implement monitoring and final remediation plans and the Company’s time frame for remediation. The Company may incur actual costs in the future that are materially different than this estimate and such costs could have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows during the period in which they are recorded.
