The Company also provided a business update as it advances its next phase of growth.
The advisory team has been assembled to assist management in executing a strategy centered on acquiring and supporting technology-enabled service businesses with high margins, recurring revenue, and attractive valuation profiles, while remaining selective in evaluating strategic investments that complement the Company’s AI-adjacent and GPU-related focus.
“We are extremely excited about the direction of the Company and the foundation we are putting in place following the tender offer,” said Chuck Piluso, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Data Storage. “This advisory team brings highly relevant experience across enterprise technology, infrastructure, and capital markets, and will play an important role as we pursue a focused strategy designed to build durable, long-term shareholder value.”

“We believe this is a pivotal moment for Data Storage,” Mr. Piluso added. “With a strengthened advisory bench, a clear strategic focus, and an enhanced platform for communicating with investors, we are enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead and confident in our ability to execute.”
