Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective September 14, 2021, Ault Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AAI”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ault Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Non-Fixed Price Sales and Purchase Agreement dated September 12, 2021 (the “Agreement”) with Bitmain Technologies Limited (the “Seller”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, AAI shall purchase, and the Seller shall sell, 3,000 units of cryptocurrency mining hardware and other related equipment (each, a “Unit”, and each 300 Units, a “Batch”) for the estimated total purchase price of Twenty Million Five Hundred Nine Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($20,509,500) (the “Total Purchase Price”). The Total Purchase Price includes a discount of four percent (4%) and may be subject to an additional discount for each Batch calculated as follows: amount of prepayment multiplied by 1% multiplied by the number of months prepaid.

The Total Purchase Price shall be paid in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the Agreement, subject to adjustments based upon market circumstances. Within seven (7) days after the signing of the Agreement, AAI shall pay the Seller a down payment in the amount of $9,739,332, which consists of 31.86% of the Total Purchase Price, which is required to be paid within seven days of the execution of the agreement, and $3,205,005.30, which represents a portion of the 28.14% of the Total Purchase Price that is due at least six months prior to the date of shipment for Batches. Thereafter, AAI shall pay the following amounts towards the Total Purchase Price:

Date	Payment Amount

September 28, 2021	$	1,552,703.70
October 28, 2021	$	1,414,600.20

One (1) month prior to the shipment of a Batch, the Seller shall notify AAI of the actual purchase price, provided that the actual purchase price shall not be higher than the total price set forth in the payment schedule in the Agreement, and upon receipt of the actual purchase price, AAI shall be entitled to exercise one of three following payment options: (i) continue to perform the order of the current Batch with the original rated hashrate and pay the remaining amount at the actual price; (ii) request the Seller to increase the rated hashrate in equivalent to the difference in price (under this circumstance, the Seller shall have the right to negotiate with AAI for the amount of the additional rated hashrate based on its then inventory); or (iii) partially or wholly cancel the order of the current Batch, provided that AAI has received the notification of the actual price. Before the Seller notifies AAI of the actual price, AAI shall make timely payment for each Batch in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the Agreement.

In the event that AAI fails to fully settle the respective percentage of the Total Purchase Price before the prescribed deadlines and fails to make a written request to the Seller no less than five (5) business days prior to the prescribed deadline and obtain the Seller’s written consent, the Seller shall be entitled to request AAI to pay a reasonable liquidated damage (not a penalty) of 20% of the purchase price of such Batch within sixty (60) days. If AAI fails to pay the liquidated damage when due, the Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement.

In the event that the Seller fails to deliver a Batch within thirty (30) days after the prescribed deadline, AAI shall be entitled to cancel such Batch and request the Seller to refund the total price of such undelivered Batch together with interest at 0.0333% per day. If AAI does not cancel the order of the undelivered Batch and requests the Seller to perform its delivery obligation, the Seller shall continue to perform its delivery obligation and compensate AAI in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement.
