The TerraScale Story
In the midst of every crisis,
lies great opportunity. ALBERT EINSTIEN
Founded in March of 2020 in Beverly Hills, CA, TerraScale is a leading green
TerraScale In the News:
technology and infrastructure development firm that designs, engineers,
builds, and operates both large-scale, sustainable data centers as a service,
as well as smaller solutions co-located on premise, or at the edge. TerraScale
places sustainability, digital infrastructure and cybersecurity resilience at the
center of its value proposition: To jumpstart the future of digital infrastructure
by developing innovative, green solutions for the world’s most pressing energy
and digital infrastructure challenges transforming and disrupting the way the
world stores data.
As we migrate towards a future in which data is at the core of our commercial
and social realities, the threats to data storage and use, such as climate change,
cyber-attacks, population growth and public health crises are becoming more
abundant than ever. Recent events have only highlighted society’s heavy
reliance on fragile, inefficient and wasteful legacy systems and the need for
green, smart, secure critical infrastructure has never been greater. Additionally,
the global green data center market will be worth $221.4 billion by the end of
2022, with the demand expanding at an exuberant CAGR of 30.8% during the
forecast period of 2014 to 2024.
TerraScale is initially focused on three business verticals, Digital Infrastructure,
Green Power and Managed IT Services, enabling TerraScale to provide unique
solutions to pressing challenges worldwide. TerraScale is redefining data
centers by leveraging on-site and renewable power infrastructure, plus cyber
security, wrapped into one solution for commercial and government clients.
When it comes to green power infrastructure, TerraScale is able to deliver the
most globally commanding and market-making solutions available in the
world by defining, integrating and deploying the most advanced renewable
energy generation technologies, equipment and systems. TerraScale’s
cybersecurity suite allows for corporations to run smoothly while TerraScale’s
managed services team keeps data secure under lock-in-key.
TerraScale’s flagship initiative, Project Energos, is a global plan to design,
develop, finance, build, and manage the infrastructure required to
accommodate our planet’s rapid increases in data usages, enable a heightened
response to emergencies and power our planet; all in a resilient and
sustainable fashion. With a dual-launch in Reno, Nevada & Wakayama, Japan,
these projects are expected to strengthen both region’s economic vitality
and growth as well as new employment opportunities. Upon completion, the
Energos Reno project will be the first large-scale carbon emissions-free data
center via on-site power within the United States.
TerraScale has also recently partnered with Fujitsu, a Fortune 500 Japanese
information tech company and team of Harvard doctors to transform how
the medical community looks at and secures proprietary data by creating a
CRM that allows for safer, more efficient storage of proprietary data as well as
improved efficiency in how healthcare providers connect with their patients in
a more efficient way.
In May of 2020, TerraScale and iQ International, a Sustainable Technologies
Company that manufactures and distributes highly efficient batteries and
is publicly traded on the Deutsche Brse (Frankfurt), signed Definitive Share
Exchange Agreements to merge their operations with the intention of For All of Our News Articles:
revolutionizing the green data center market. The union of TerraScale and iQ
will jumpstart the use of nickel zinc batteries rather than lithium-ion batteries
to make data centers safer and the extraction and mining process cleaner.
TerraScale’s ultimate goal is to unleash a new wave of critical infrastructure
development and solutions deployment, while bringing key partners to foster
innovation, economic growth, job creation and sustainability. At TerraScale, we
don’t want to just sell data storage, we want to grow and scale, partner with
innovative companies and expand our services and technologies.

iQ Business Transition IQ BATTERY DIVESTITURE iQ has been a developer of technology for automotive and power storage batteries for over two decades, and it was one of the first companies in the world to pioneer battery management systems. Many shareholders of the company have been invested for the entire period evidencing the dedication of the shareholder base. In that time iQ has successfully invented and commercialized some of the most valuable intellectual property for industry leading technologies that increase the performance and production efficiency of batteries, while at the same time reducing the cost. Yet, the market has not rewarded this with returns in line with the significance of its patent portfolio and accomplishments. Like anything that someone has been part of for an extended period of time, it is hard to change as it is natural to become attached. Transitioning iQ’s business from its historical path to one that is better aligned with today’s most exciting industries has been no different. Since stepping in at the beginning of 2019, the current executive team of iQ successfully up listed the company from the Berlin Exchange to the General Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as part of the plan to raise equity through its German Investment Bank and listing agent. In addition, the Company further developed its patent portfolio to 69 patents with more than 40 patents pending, bought the Italian battery factory (SIA), and negotiated to buy and signed share purchase agreements to acquire a second battery factory in South America. Further, iQ attracted and retained the most experienced and senior management team within the battery industry. All of these steps have been necessary to positioned iQ for success in the battery business, now requiring capital. Both the equity raise for iQ by the German Investment Bank and the second $131 million institutional financing were impacted, delayed, and lost due first to the COVID pandemic, which hit the Company three months after up listing and right before the German Investment Bank’s roadshow, and then later by the death of the Institutional Financier’s CEO and sole signatory. Regardless of the Company’s setbacks, iQ’s strategic up listing, superior battery technologies and renewable power expertise have made the company the ideal vehicle for TerraScale. Amalgamating with TerraScale presents an excellent opportunity for shareholders to participate in a rapidly growing sector around digital infrastructure and the evolving digital economy. In order to facilitate this transaction and ensure the combined business is free of balance sheet impediments and positioned strongly to execute on its business plan, iQ has decided to sell its battery business, including IP, or to bring in a control equity investor that has the wherewithal to take the business forward. Management believes these moves establish a foundation for the company to transition into a highly relevant industry that is extremely important for the future - one which garners a much higher stock price multiple versus lead-acid batteries - assuring a long-term viable investment for shareholders. The TerraScale founders have spent years preparing the necessary technologies and opportunities to make this possible, and the timing of this transaction to launch TerraScale to the public markets is ideal. Parties interested in iQ’s battery business will be buying or investing in a company that has a significant competitive advantage through technology over the incumbent leaders at a time when battery innovation and improvement in performance has finally caught up with iQ’s intellectual property. With the lead acid battery industry growing faster than experts expected, management believes the value proposition established from the past few years of work will be a compelling prospect.

The above charts are based on a model of a SINGLE 20+MW DATA CENTER. Based on TerraScale’s anticipated growth plans of building 20+ of
such Data Centers globally, our potential revenue is well positioned to exceed US$1B whilst continuing to maintain strong EBITDA margins.
EBITDA margins are expected to remain stable at ~80% given our lean operations and technology-driven operations that allow for rapid
global scalability.
Management is highly confident about the above financial profile given that we have already built up a strong pipeline of DC Load
commitments of over 20MW through our reputable Leasing partners.
Following the merger with iQ, Management expects robust growth on the back of a highly synergistic combined business which allows
TerraScale to integrate upstream through the use of energy efficient and safer batteries to enable the Data Centers.

a large portion of it, with NiZn battery technology and present the UPS market with a better performing, higher energy density battery
foundation, reducing costs, extending lifespan and servicing a wider range of applications.
