This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended and together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, including this Amendment No. 3, the “Schedule TO”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2023, by Ault Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ault” or the “Company”). The exchange offer (the “Offer”) is subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange, dated April 20, 2023 (the “Offer to Exchange”). The Offer to Exchange, related offering documents, and Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Exchange, are hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.

Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as specifically set forth herein. On May 3, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing its amendment of the terms of the Offer to change: (i) the exchange ratio to 50 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) for one share of 10.00% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series H Preferred Stock”) from 200 shares of Common Stock for three shares of Series H Preferred Stock and (ii) the minimum share requirement to complete the Offer to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company intends to file a Second Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange, an Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal and an Amended and Restated Notice of Guaranteed Delivery on Schedule TO. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) to this Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.
