On September 4, 2026, AIB Data Centers Inc. (the “Company”) entered into two interdependent definitive agreements to acquire certain real property and related assets located in Texas, comprising approximately 29.385 acres for development as a data center site (the “Transaction”) with an existing 15 MW of primary electric service on Property A and up to 40 MW of primary electric service to be delivered to Property B upon the date that the facilities are placed in service. The Transaction is structured as two linked, concurrently closing components and the aggregate consideration for the Transaction is approximately $17,225,400. Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) The Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated September 4, 2026, with a local seller (“Seller A”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire approximately 5.00 acres of real property located in Texas (“Property A”), together with all improvements, easements, mineral, oil and gas rights, water rights, and related interests, for a purchase price of $8,250,000 payable in cash at closing. Property A is currently served by an existing Facilities Extension Agreement with a local utility provider (the “Utility Company”) providing 15 MW of primary electric service. There are no material relationships between the Company and Seller A other than with respect to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) Concurrently with the PSA, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated September 4, 2026, with another local seller (Seller B”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the interests in a Delaware limited liability company, which has the right to acquire fee simple title to approximately 24.385 acres of adjacent real property in Texas (“Property B”). There are no material relationships between the Company and Seller B other than with respect to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. The purchase price under the MIPA is $8,975,400, of which $2,975,400 is payable at closing and $6,000,000 (the “Deferred Payment”) is payable to Seller B on the date that the Utility Company places the Property B facilities in service (the “Release Date”). The Deferred Payment is secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in the amount of $6,000,000 for the benefit of Seller B. If the Release Date has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2028, the Company may substitute a parent guaranty for the letter of credit, subject to certain creditworthiness requirements. Property B is supported by a Facilities Extension Agreement with the Utility Company (the “Property B FEA”) providing for 40 MW of primary electric service. Performance security under the Property B FEA is supported by a separate irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in the amount of $1,754,640 for the benefit of the Utility Company.
