Exhibit 99.1
Core Scientific Announces Departure of Board Member Todd Becker
AUSTIN, Texas, May 13, 2025 - Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CORZ), a leader in digital infrastructure for high-density colocation services and digital asset mining, today announced that Todd Becker will be stepping down from its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Mr. Becker joined the Board in January 2024 and has served as Chair of the Audit Committee. During his tenure, he provided critical leadership and oversight as Core Scientific completed two significant capital raises that materially improved the company's balance sheet, the hiring of a new Chief Financial Officer and supported its ongoing operational and strategic objectives following its emergence from bankruptcy. His financial acumen and disciplined approach to governance were instrumental during a pivotal stage in the company's transformation.

"On behalf of the Board and management team, I want to thank Todd for his dedication and service to Core Scientific," said Adam Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer. "His steady leadership and sound judgment were essential as we worked to strengthen our financial foundation and position the company for long-term success."

Mr. Becker's resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Board, the Company, or management on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices.

The company has initiated a search for a new independent director to succeed Mr. Becker on the Board.
