Core Scientific Completes Initial Closing Of $500M 364-Day Loan Facility Provided By Morgan Stanley

Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) ("Core Scientific" or the "Company"), a leader in digital infrastructure for high-density colocation, today announced that it completed the initial closing of a $500 million 364-day loan facility (the "Facility") provided by Morgan Stanley. The Facility includes an accordion feature that provides the potential to increase total commitments by up to an additional $500 million, for total commitments of up to $1.0 billion, subject to customary terms and conditions. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 250 basis points (2.50%).

"This strengthens our liquidity and enhances our financial flexibility as we execute our development and go-to-market strategy," said Adam Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Core Scientific. "With this additional financing capacity, we can operate decisively by deploying capital to expedite project ready-for-service timelines, making us an even more compelling infrastructure provider for customers."

The Company expects to use proceeds from borrowings under the Facility, as and when drawn, for general corporate purposes related to the development of data center assets, including without limitation purchase equipment costs, pre-development costs, real property acquisition and costs related to the acquisition of, and entrance into, agreements for the procurement of additional energy for data centers.
