TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION About Two Seas Capital SECTION 01: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 4 ▪ Two Seas Capital (“Two Seas Capital”, “we” or “us”) is an alternative investment management firm based in Rye, New York ▪ We seek to generate outsized, uncorrelated returns by investing in securities that we believe are mispriced ▪ We have been a committed investor in, and staunch advocate of, Core Scientific, Inc. (“Core Scientific” or the “Company”) sin ce 2022 — We were early members of the ad hoc equity committee, supported the Company's emergence from bankruptcy by joining in the rig hts offering in early 2024, participated in both convertible note issuances, and have grown our equity stake over the past 18 mon ths ▪ Today, we beneficially own approximately 6.5% of Core Scientific’s outstanding shares, making us one of the Company’s largest st ockholders — We also own a meaningful position in CoreWeave, Inc. (“CoreWeave”) — We are confident that both Core Scientific and CoreWeave have an opportunity to create long - term value for stockholders ▪ We are not an activist fund and prefer to engage constructively and privately with the companies we own ▪ However, because we believe strongly that the proposed merger with CoreWeave (the “Merger” or the “Proposed Merger”) signific ant ly undervalues Core Scientific, we are compelled to bring our concerns directly to our fellow stockholders and publicly advocate ag ainst this suboptimal transaction

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION The Merger as Proposed Should Not Be Supported SECTION 01: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 8 1. Core Scientific Press Release, July 7, 2025. 2. As of October 9, 2025. We urge Core Scientific stockholders to vote the GOLD proxy card AGAINST the Merger Proposals The Price Is Inadequate The Structure Is Deficient The Process Was Flawed ▪ The initial headline deal price of $20.40 per share 1 undervalued Core Scientific’s intrinsic value and strategic value to CoreWeave ▪ After the Merger announcement, CoreWeave’s stock price tumbled by as much as ~45% and remains down ~15% today, following one of the worst post - deal drawdowns in an acquirer’s stock price since 2020; the current deal value of less than $18 per share 2 reflects a take - under of Core Scientific ▪ Valuation multiples of peer companies and precedent transactions imply a ~30 - 100% higher value for Core Scientific than the current deal value ▪ Core Scientific’s stock has consistently traded meaningfully higher than the deal value and could trade significantly higher still, in our view, if the Merger is rejected, as recent HPC transactions have led to a dramatic increase in valuations across the sector ▪ Despite CoreWeave's stock being extremely volatile and appreciating by more than 300% between CoreWeave’s March 2025 IPO and the deal announcement, the Core Scientific Board agreed to an all - stock, fixed exchange ratio structure, with no downside protection ▪ This structure left Core Scientific stockholders fully exposed to one of the most volatile stocks in the market, with a then - looming lock - up expiration that was expected to weigh on CoreWeave’s stock ▪ The Board should have insisted on appropriate protections against one of the most volatile merger currencies ever used in an M&A transaction, but instead caused Core Scientific stockholders to suffer through the extreme fluctuations and value erosion in CoreWeave’s stock that have ensued since the Merger was announced ▪ Core Scientific’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) dealt exclusively with CoreWeave, forgoing any proactive outreach or a competitive process, and agreed to a “no - shop” provision despite Core Scientific’s highly attractive assets and strategic value ▪ Deal negotiations consisted of a single counter before the Board accepted a modest 1% bump in the exchange ratio, with the entire process lasting little more than a month ▪ The Board reversed its policy on accelerated vesting of executive equity awards and tax gross - ups worth $180 million, potentially incentivizing management to close a deal over maximizing stockholder value ▪ The Board relied on a flawed fairness opinion, predicated on an excessive discount rate, overly conservative projections of future growth and inappropriate assumptions – lowering the value reference range by ~35% GOLD

 
 

 

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION Core Scientific Has Tremendous Strategic Value to CoreWeave SECTION 01: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 9 1. Core Scientific Press Release, July 7, 2025. Expanded Expertise Power Ownership Financing Advantage Operational Efficiency ▪ Core Scientific has more than 115 technical data center and power employees with unique and valuable expertise in power procurement, construction and site management ▪ Core Scientific’s infrastructure engineering capabilities would augment and complement CoreWeave’s HPC operations and software expertise ▪ CoreWeave has a critical need for power; by acquiring Core Scientific, CoreWeave would gain immediate access to a large power footprint, with additional capacity suitable for inference applications, and control over a critical and scarce element of the AI cloud platform ▪ CoreWeave’s increased scale would enhance its ability to take on new projects and meet significant customer demand ▪ CoreWeave would have the option to divest or repurpose Core Scientific’s digital asset mining capacity in furtherance of CoreWeave’s strategic objectives and opportunities ▪ With direct ownership of its power infrastructure, CoreWeave would gain access to new capital sources and the ability to replace its existing financing at a lower cost of capital ▪ The elimination of CoreWeave’s lease liabilities related to the Core Scientific agreement would allow for a cleaner capital structure, increased borrowing capacity, a lower cost of capital and enhanced liquidity ▪ Acquiring Core Scientific would improve CoreWeave’s credit metrics and leverage position and advance the company’s goal of becoming investment - grade ▪ A combination of Core Scientific and CoreWeave would result in the immediate elimination of more than $10 billion of CoreWeave’s lease liabilities over the next 12 years ▪ CoreWeave expects to realize $500 million in annual run rate cost savings by the end of 2027 in the form of reduced corporate G&A and lease overhead 1 ▪ Acquiring Core Scientific would significantly accelerate the execution of CoreWeave’s strategy

 
 

 

 

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION Core Scientific’s Claims in Support of the Merger Are Unavailing SECTION 01: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 10 1. Source: Core Scientific Proxy Statement, filed on Form DEFM14A with the SEC on September 26, 2025. Two Seas’ Response Core Scientific’s Unavailing Claim 1 ▪ Core Scientific’s Board had full latitude to consider alternatives but chose not to run a real process ▪ To say that “alternatives were considered” is nothing more than window dressing; in reality, it is apparent that the Board only considered a sale, and that CoreWeave was the preferred buyer ▪ In the absence of outreach or a go - shop period, stockholders are left with absolutely no assurance that this was the best deal available “The Core Scientific board reviewed possible alternatives to the Merger over a period of time and consulted with Core Scientific’s financial advisors regarding possible alternatives, including… seeking a business combination with another party” ▪ A counterproposal that leads to a 1% improvement, after capitulating immediately on all other demands, does not qualify as “extensive negotiations,” in our view ▪ The Board raised the idea of a collar just once before accepting CoreWeave’s preferred transaction structure and acceded to a “no - shop” provision despite receiving no apparent value in return ▪ This was a one - way discussion with a single counterparty that lasted less than one month “The Core Scientific board considered the fact that the Merger Consideration and other transaction terms reflected extensive negotiations between Core Scientific and CoreWeave and their respective advisors…” ▪ Acknowledging the risk of CoreWeave’s stock decline is meaningless when the Board took no action to protect stockholders from it ▪ CoreWeave refused the Board’s (seemingly performative) request for collar, and the Board simply gave in ▪ Stockholders are now fully exposed to one of the most volatile stocks in the Nasdaq “The Core Scientific board considered the risk that because the Merger Consideration is based on a fixed exchange ratio rather than a fixed value, Core Scientific stockholders will bear the risk of a decrease in the trading price of CoreWeave common stock…”

 
 

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION Core Scientific’s Alternatives Are Better than This Flawed Transaction SECTION 01: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 11 In our view, if stockholders vote down the Proposed Merger – as we believe they should – Core Scientific has other alternatives that we believe will provide superior risk - adjusted value to stockholders Why Better than Proposed Merger? Description Alternative ▪ Would provide Core Scientific stockholders with greater ownership of the pro forma company and/or greater and more certain value, with less exposure to downside risk given the extremely volatile merger currency ▪ CoreWeave increases the exchange ratio to a level that we believe better reflects Core Scientific’s intrinsic value, strategic importance to CoreWeave and contributions to the pro forma business ▪ CoreWeave changes the consideration mix and/or provides a collar, floating exchange ratio or other protection against downside risk CoreWeave Improves Value and/or Certainty of Consideration ▪ In the absence of a transaction, we believe Core Scientific’s stock – which has been weighed down by CoreWeave’s volatile and underperforming stock for the last three months – would trade meaningfully higher in the near - term, given recent trading patterns of peer companies, with the potential for significant long - term appreciation ▪ Core Scientific can continue its transition from an undifferentiated Bitcoin miner to an advantaged HPC data center lessor ▪ The Company’s long - term contract with CoreWeave provides consistent cash flow, and exploding demand for compute power reinforces the potential value of Core Scientific’s pipeline Remain Independent and Continue to Grow ▪ Would provide an accelerated path to enhanced scale and improved customer and site diversification, which we believe would support dramatic near - term multiple expansion and long - term value creation ▪ Acquire or merge with another former Bitcoin miner with a signed HPC contract to extend and fortify Core Scientific’s leadership position in one of the fastest - growing sectors in the market Merge with or Acquire Similarly - Sized Former Bitcoin Miner

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION The Board’s Deal Process and Negotiations Were Egregious SECTION 02: THE BOARD’S DEAL PROCESS AND NEGOTIATIONS WERE EGREGIOUS 15 ▪ Core Scientific did not even attempt to solicit interest from the broad group of potential buyers, engaging solely with CoreW eav e, seemingly its preferred counterparty, in a closed process without a “go - shop” provision and without conducting any “market check ” No Active Solicitation or Price Exploration ▪ The Board failed to negotiate any meaningful concessions from CoreWeave, acceding to a structure that left stockholders fully exposed to CoreWeave’s volatile stock price and the Board unable to solicit alternative proposals, even after a quasi - exclusive sale process ▪ The Board did not negotiate forcefully, making only one counterproposal before accepting a mere 1% bump in the value of the consideration Ineffective Negotiations ▪ The Board compromised the integrity of its process by reversing its stated policy on accelerated vesting of equity awards and ta x gross - ups for executives, creating a powerful incentive for management to favor a transaction, regardless of whether the terms w ere optimal or even fair for stockholders Misaligned Incentives ▪ The projections used in the fairness opinion were much lower than consensus estimates and overly conservative, in our view, g ive n the continued explosive growth in demand for HPC ▪ The financial advisors used discount rates and multiples that are unsupported by the facts and had the effect of arbitrarily dep ressing Core Scientific’s valuation A Flawed Fairness Opinion 1 2 4 3

 
 

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION The Board Did Not Consider Any Alternative Buyers SECTION 02: THE BOARD’S DEAL PROCESS AND NEGOTIATIONS WERE EGREGIOUS 16 Source: FactSet and Core Scientific Proxy Statement, filed on Form DEFM14A with the SEC on September 26, 2025. 1. See page 63 for additional examples. ▪ The extent of the Board’s “process” was to respond to CoreWeave’s unsolicited inbound inquiry and negotiate with CoreWeave; t he Board did not direct the Company’s financial advisor to contact any other potential acquirers ▪ However, we believe Core Scientific’s scale, first - mover advantage, and expertise in HPC, power procurement and site management make it strategically and economically attractive not only to CoreWeave but to several strategic acquirers, such as AI hyperscalers and similarly situated peers, and many financial sponsors, including several owners of data center REITs — Deal activity in the sector has been robust: In September and August 2025, for example, Cipher Mining and TeraWulf signed contracts with Fluidstack with a combined value of approximately $6.7 billion, reflecting sustained demand for HPC 1 ▪ The Board attempts to excuse its failure to seek alternative transactions or take any steps to maximize value for stockholder s b y claiming that it was advised that no other party would be interested in acquiring Core Scientific — Notably, neither the Board nor the Company’s financial advisors (who had been retained for less than two weeks when the Board determined not to solicit interest from other parties) offer any evidence for such a pivotal conclusion beyond the fact that no one had expressed an interest in the year since CoreWeave’s June 2024 unsolicited proposal ▪ In our view, the Board’s decision to accept a “no - shop” provision, which limited Core Scientific’s ability to solicit or encoura ge other proposals once the Merger was announced, was inexplicable given the lack of outreach during the sales process The Board’s process was extremely limited and reactive to CoreWeave’s second unsolicited, inbound interest, rather than a con cer ted effort to explore potential interest, create competitive tension and maximize value 1

The Board seemingly made little effort to push back on CoreWeave’s proposals and, after making just one attempt to convince C ore Weave to increase the exchange ratio, accepted CoreWeave’s terms ▪ During negotiations, Core Scientific advanced only one counterproposal seeking an exchange ratio of 0.1400 shares, representing a 15% improvement from CoreWeave’s then - current proposal ▪ When CoreWeave responded with a mere 1% bump to 0.1235 shares, the Board promptly accepted the proposal and ended substantive negotiations ▪ By that point, the Board had already acceded to CoreWeave’s desire to add a “no shop” provision, which precluded Core Scientific’s Board from soliciting alternative proposals after the Merger Agreement was signed ▪ Core Scientific made one request for a collar to protect against the extreme volatility in CoreWeave’s stock, but CoreWeave declined, and the Board conceded again ▪ In our view, the Board should have insisted on a collar or alternative protections, rather than agreeing to an all - stock, uncollared structure that left stockholders fully exposed to swings in CoreWeave’s equity value Implied Value of Proposals at Time of Delivery Exchange Ratio $12.89 $19.29 $22.40 $19.76 CRWV June 6 Proposal (Rejected) CRWV June 26 Proposal (Rejected) CORZ June 27 Counterproposal (Rejected) CRWV June 27 Counterproposal (Accepted) 0.0920 0.1220 0.1400 0.1235 2

We Believe the Merger Process Was Tainted by the Board’s Treatment of Executive Equity Awards The Board reversed its stated policy on accelerated vesting to maximize the value and certainty of executives’ equity awards, in centivizing management to support a deal even as it failed to maximize value or certainty for stockholders ▪ Core Scientific promoted “double - trigger” vesting as a key feature of its compensation program in its March 2025 annual meeting proxy statement ▪ However, at some point prior to the signing of the Merger Agreement, the Board changed its stated policy, providing for “single - trigger” vesting, ensuring an immediate and certain payout for executives upon the closing of the deal ▪ These adjustments increased the CEO’s potential payment upon a change in control by 124% to $132 million, and the CLO’s potential payout by 140% to $44 million ▪ The change in policy created a powerful incentive for management to favor a transaction, regardless of whether the terms were optimal or even fair for stockholders Value of Potential Payments Upon a Change in Control ($M) $59 $18 $132 $44 Adam Sullivan (CEO) Todd M.

CoreWeave Cost of Debt / Discount Rate for Core Scientific Colocation Contracted Business 4 ▪ Core Scientific’s Colocation Contracted Business ( i.e. , its hosting contract with CoreWeave) has a very low risk profile and could be regarded as a debt - like cash flow stream to Core Scientific — In a sense, the hosting contract carries even less risk than CoreWeave’s debt; Core Scientific’s data center capacity is integral to CoreWeave’s business, and CoreWeave is unlikely to “default” on the contract and risk being unable to fulfill its obligations to its customers ▪ Therefore, we see no reason why this contracted revenue stream should be regarded as riskier than CoreWeave’s debt, especially given that the ultimate counterparties – CoreWeave’s customers, like Microsoft, Meta and IBM – are among the most credit - worthy companies in the world — Accordingly, we believe it is reasonable to assume a discount rate for this business that is equivalent to the cost of CoreWeave’s secured debt if CoreWeave were able to raise debt against the data centers it is building for Core Scientific; we estimate that cost of debt to be approximately 5.6% based on the yield of comparable recent data center backed issuances 2 ▪ However, to be conservative, we use a discount rate in our analyses that reflects the yield on CoreWeave’s unsecured debt (approximately 8.3%) 3 ▪ In all events, we do not believe there is any justification for using a discount rate of 10% or more on what is essentially a CoreWeave debt obligation The Board Seemingly Ignored Obvious Flaws in the Fairness Opinions (Continued) The financial advisors assumed an excessive discount rate for Core Scientific’s Colocation Contracted Business that was much hig her than CoreWeave’s cost of debt, lowering Core Scientific’s DCF value 8.5% to 13% 10% to 12% ~8.3% ~5.6% Moelis Discount Rate¹ PJT Discount Rate¹ Yield on CoreWeave Unsecured Debt² Yield on CoreWeave Secured Debt³

The Board seemingly recognized the risk to Core Scientific stockholders if CoreWeave’s stock price were to decline between the announcement and closing of the Merger and apparently appreciated the trading and market dynamics that made CoreWeave’s stock particularly vulnerable ▪ The Board discussed the possibility of proposing cash consideration, a floating exchange ratio, an exchange ratio collar and other mechanisms to preserve value for Core Scientific stockholders on at least four occasions The Core Scientific Board Should Have Insisted on a Collar or Cash Consideration Structural safeguards such as a floating exchange ratio, collar or cash component would have insulated Core Scientific stockh old ers from the fluctuations and material decline in CoreWeave’s stock price that have occurred post - deal announcement 3 However, as best we can tell, the Board made little effort to advocate for mechanisms to mitigate the tangible and significant risk to value and seemingly acceded quickly to CoreWeave’s desires regarding transaction structure ▪ The Merger proxy statement indicates Core Scientific’s CEO raised the possibility of a collar just once in discussions with CoreWeave’s CEO ▪ After CoreWeave’s CEO indicated that CoreWeave was unwilling to modify the transaction structure, Core Scientific apparently never raised the issue again In our view, the Board should have negotiated more forcefully with CoreWeave and insisted on a collar or cash consideration to protect stockholders from what we regard as a foreseeable risk that CoreWeave’s stock price would decline and diminish the value of the Merger consideration ▪ CoreWeave’s stock is one of the most volatile of any acquisition currency in the last 25 years; this is precisely the type of transaction for which collars were invented

Context CoreWeave Imperative Buy another former Bitcoin miner – likely at a higher multiple, given the recent increase in equity valuations across the sector – acquire power assets through several smaller transactions, or pay significantly appreciated lease rates for additional HPC capacity The Proposed Merger would give CoreWeave ownership of approximately 1.3 GW of gross power, with an incremental 1 GW+ of potential gross power available for expansion ▪ The availability of reliable, low - cost electrical power and the specialized data center “powered shells” that utilize such power is CoreWeave’s most significant near - term challenge, in our view ▪ Without increasing its capacity, it is unclear whether CoreWeave can continue to grow its backlog at its current rate Acquire Power and Data Center Capacity Hire 100+ employees – which would likely be prohibitively expensive, if not impossible, given the current hiring environment for top - tier talent Core Scientific has more than 115 technical data center and power employees with unique and valuable expertise in power procurement, construction and site management ▪ CoreWeave has significant expertise in networking, storage and software development ▪ However, CoreWeave has a limited track record of building and managing complex data center infrastructure at scale Augment Infrastructure Expertise Continue to pursue expensive financing, impairing the company’s earnings potential Full ownership of Core Scientific’s power would give CoreWeave much greater financing flexibility and a cleaner capital structure and should substantially lower the company’s cost of capital ▪ Direct infrastructure ownership would enable CoreWeave to tap into new, cheaper capital sources to replace its existing financing, which carries a high cost of capital ▪ However, CoreWeave does not own – and cannot borrow against – its underlying data center infrastructure Finance Growth 1 Core Scientific’s Importance to CoreWeave Warrants a Premium Valuation Acquiring Core Scientific would solve several pressing near - term challenges for CoreWeave, for which it does not have many viabl e alternatives

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION Core Scientific Management Is Enthusiastic About the Company’s Future… SECTION 05: CORE SCIENTIFIC HAS TREMENDOUS VALUE AS AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY 53 Core Scientific is in the early innings of an industry - shaping transformation it is well positioned to capitalize upon “[W]e are building more than capacity. We are laying the foundation for what comes next for this company and for the growth of accelerated compute. And while [our GPU infrastructure agreement with] CoreWeave is a significant first step, it's just that, the first step of a long journey .” Adam Sullivan, CEO; May 7, 2025 “ AI is driving one of the biggest shifts we've seen in infrastructure in decades . It's not just about more demand. It's about a new kind of infrastructure purpose - built for high - performance, high - density workloads… [M]any large enterprises are just beginning to plan their AI strategies, and… [a]s those plans turn to action, Core Scientific is well positioned to be a major supplier of infrastructure that will power it.” Adam Sullivan, CEO; May 7, 2025 “[W]e want to build out a large scale data center platform that rivals that of Digital Realty and QTS. We believe given the transition that this industry is currently going through between low density to high density [colocation] we believe this is a very large opening for our business to grab a significant market share . And we have a very unique capital structure as well that's enabling that.” Adam Sullivan, CEO; May 29, 2025 “We're in a moment the broader datacenter industry hasn't experienced in years. AI - driven demand is fundamentally reshaping infrastructure needs around the world, and this company is extremely well positioned to lead in that shift.” Jim Nygaard, CFO; May 7, 2025 1

With an improved capital structure, CORZ is well - positioned for future growth, customer diversification, and enhanced financial stability, driving profitability in a dynamic digital infrastructure market.” November 14, 2024 “ CORZ is the first mover (among bitcoin miners) in what we expect will be a fast growing, high demand environment for HPC data center capacity.” September 4, 2024 “In a speculative space where viability of HPC/AI hosting diversification is on investors' minds, CORZ is the only one executing at scale so far… [T]his should mean consistent, lower risk revenues.” September 24, 2024 “ CORZ is uniquely well positioned to capture this moment of AI demand given the large amounts of available power and a data center development team with experience from Equinix, DataBank , and HP…” October 27,2024 1

Our only direct capital outlay on the contract is the $104 million associated with the 70 - megawatt expansion we announced during our last earnings call.

Deal Spread Core Scientific Stock Price & Value of Merger Consideration Post - Announcement Trading Prices Have Consistently Reflected Significant Market Skepticism Regarding the Merger Core Scientific’s stock price has consistently traded above the deal value, resulting in a negative deal spread “Usually when deals are trading at a premium to an exchange rate, we believe activity is forthcoming… We believe… this deal ultimately will get done, but at revised economics . ” — ROTH Capital Partners Research Note, August 21, 2025 $10.00 $12.00 $14.00 $16.00 $18.00 $20.00 $22.00 Jul 3 Jul 17 Jul 31 Aug 14 Aug 28 Sep 11 Sep 25 Oct 9 Core Scientific Stock Price Value of Merger Consideration 0% (13%) (2%) (50%) (25%) 0% 25% 50% Jul 7 Jul 21 Aug 4 Aug 18 Sep 1 Sep 15 Sep 29

 
 

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION Core Scientific’s Alternatives Are Better than This Flawed Transaction 68 In our view, if stockholders vote down the Proposed Merger – as we believe they should – Core Scientific has other alternatives that we believe will provide superior risk - adjusted value to stockholders SECTION 06: CONCLUSION Why Better than Proposed Merger? Description Alternative ▪ Would provide Core Scientific stockholders with greater ownership of the pro forma company and/or greater and more certain value, with less exposure to downside risk given the extremely volatile merger currency ▪ CoreWeave increases the exchange ratio to a level that we believe better reflects Core Scientific’s intrinsic value, strategic importance to CoreWeave and contributions to the pro forma business ▪ CoreWeave changes the consideration mix and/or provides a collar, floating exchange ratio or other protection against downside risk CoreWeave Improves Value and/or Certainty of Consideration ▪ In the absence of a transaction, we believe Core Scientific’s stock – which has been weighed down by CoreWeave’s volatile and underperforming stock for the last three months – would trade meaningfully higher in the near - term, given recent trading patterns of peer companies, with the potential for significant long - term appreciation ▪ Core Scientific can continue its transition from an undifferentiated Bitcoin miner to an advantaged, asset - light HPC company ▪ The Company’s long - term contract with CoreWeave provides consistent cash flow, and exploding demand for compute power reinforces the potential value of Core Scientific’s pipeline Remain Independent and Continue to Grow ▪ Would provide an accelerated path to enhanced scale and improved customer and site diversification, which we believe would support near - term multiple expansion and long - term value creation ▪ Acquire or merge with another former Bitcoin miner with a signed HPC contract to extend and fortify Core Scientific’s leadership position in one of the fastest - growing sectors in the market Merge with or Acquire Similarly - Sized Former Bitcoin Miner

TWO SEAS CAPITAL LP | INVESTOR PRESENTATION The Merger as Proposed Should Not Be Supported SECTION 06: CONCLUSION 70 1. Core Scientific Press Release, July 7, 2025. 2. As of October 9, 2025. We urge Core Scientific stockholders to vote the GOLD proxy card AGAINST the Merger Proposals The Price Is Inadequate The Structure Is Deficient The Process Was Flawed ▪ The initial headline deal price of $20.40 per share 1 undervalued Core Scientific’s intrinsic value and strategic value to CoreWeave ▪ After the Merger announcement, CoreWeave’s stock price tumbled by as much as ~45% and remains down ~15% today, following one of the worst post - deal drawdowns in an acquirer’s stock price since 2020; the current deal value of less than $18 per share 2 reflects a take - under of Core Scientific ▪ Valuation multiples of peer companies and precedent transactions imply a ~30 - 100% higher value for Core Scientific than the current deal value ▪ Core Scientific’s stock has consistently traded meaningfully higher than the deal value and could trade significantly higher still, in our view, if the Merger is rejected, as recent HPC transactions have led to a dramatic increase in valuations across the sector ▪ Despite CoreWeave's stock being extremely volatile and appreciating by more than 300% between CoreWeave’s March 2025 IPO and the deal announcement, the Core Scientific Board agreed to an all - stock, fixed exchange ratio structure, with no downside protection ▪ This structure left Core Scientific stockholders fully exposed to one of the most volatile stocks in the market, with a then - looming lock - up expiration that was expected to weigh on CoreWeave’s stock ▪ The Board should have insisted on appropriate protections against one of the most volatile merger currencies ever used in an M&A transaction, but instead caused Core Scientific stockholders to suffer through the extreme fluctuations and value erosion in CoreWeave’s stock that have ensued since the Merger was announced ▪ Core Scientific’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) dealt exclusively with CoreWeave, forgoing any proactive outreach or a competitive process, and agreed to a “no - shop” provision despite Core Scientific’s highly attractive assets and strategic value ▪ Deal negotiations consisted of a single counter before the Board accepted a modest 1% bump in the exchange ratio, with the entire process lasting little more than a month ▪ The Board reversed its policy on accelerated vesting of executive equity awards and tax gross - ups worth $180 million, potentially incentivizing management to close a deal over maximizing stockholder value ▪ The Board relied on a flawed fairness opinion, predicated on an excessive discount rate, overly conservative projections of future growth and inappropriate assumptions – lowering the value reference range by ~35% GOLD
