Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement

On October 7, 2026, TCDC PowerCo LLC (“PowerCo”)

and Texas Critical Data Centers LLC (“TCDC”), each a subsidiary of New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (the “Company”),

entered into a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) with Macquarie Bank Limited (the “Bank”).

As previously disclosed, PowerCo is party to a

Power Purchase Agreement (the “PPA”) with Luminant ET Services Company LLC (“Luminant”), which requires PowerCo

to provide credit support in the form of a letter of credit. Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, the Bank caused the issuance of

a $116.0 million standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in favor of Luminant, for the account of PowerCo, to secure

PowerCo’s obligations under the PPA.

PowerCo is obligated to reimburse the Bank for

any drawing under the Letter of Credit, together with interest at 12% per annum. TCDC has unconditionally guaranteed PowerCo’s obligations

under the Reimbursement Agreement, and TCDC and PowerCo are jointly and severally liable for any reimbursement amount not satisfied from

the cash collateral described below.

The obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement

are secured by a first-priority security interest in cash collateral, which must be maintained at not less than 102% of the undrawn face

amount of the Letter of Credit (approximately $118.3 million at issuance). Of the initial cash collateral, $60.0 million was funded with

proceeds of the Term Loan A-2 and Term Loan A-3 under TCDC’s existing Term Loan Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2026 (as amended,

the “Term Loan Agreement”), with Macquarie Equipment Capital Inc., an affiliate of the Bank, as administrative agent and lender

(the “Lender”), and the balance of approximately $58.3 million was funded with cash on hand by PowerCo and TCDC. The Company

expects to refinance the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement in the near future.

In connection with the $60.0 million draw down

under the Term Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender warrants to purchase 413,055 shares of the Company’s common stock,

par value $0.0001 per share, with an exercise price of approximately $7.26 (the “Warrants”).

PowerCo will pay the Bank a fronting fee of 1.00%

of the face amount of the Letter of Credit at issuance and a letter of credit fee of 2.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The

Reimbursement Agreement will terminate on the date upon which all obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement and the related security

agreement have been paid in full in cash and the Letter of Credit has been returned to the Bank for cancellation or otherwise terminated

in accordance with its terms.

The Reimbursement Agreement contains representations,

warranties, covenants and events of default customary for agreements of this type.

The foregoing description of the Reimbursement

Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Reimbursement Agreement,

a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2026

and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation

under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this

Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of

this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Warrants were issued to the Lender upon an

exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company has begun pursuing leases with hyperscale

tenants for its Texas Critical Data Center project (the “TCDC Project”), rather than seeking to develop the TCDC Project through

a joint venture with a data center developer. The Company believes that its ownership of the TCDC Project site and the contracted power

for Phase 1 under the PPA position it to negotiate leases directly with such prospective hyperscale tenants.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking

statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act

of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the Company’s strategy for the development and leasing of the TCDC Project and

its ability to enter into leases with hyperscale tenants. These statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and are

subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including the Company’s ability to attract

tenants and negotiate leases on acceptable terms, its ability to obtain financing for the TCDC Project, and the other risks described

in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its subsequent filings with the Securities

and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
