Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On April 10, 2026, the Company
issued 893,724 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), to SharonAI, Inc. (“SharonAI”)
pursuant to the previously reported Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated January
16, 2026, by and between the Company and SharonAI, Inc. The Purchase Agreement entitles SharonAI to receive the number of shares of common
stock equaling the difference in value between the shares of common stock issued to SharonAI on March 31, 2026, and the shares of common
stock that SharonAI would have received if the Company’s underwritten public offering that closed on April 10, 2026 (the “Offering”)
had occurred prior to March 31, 2026.
On April 10, 2026, the Company
issued 1,522,389 shares of common stock to Zachary Yi Zhou pursuant to the previously reported Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the
“Note”), dated as of April 6, 2026, by and between the Company and Mr. Zhou. The Note matured at the closing of a Qualified
Equity Financing (as defined in the Note), as to which the Offering qualifies.
The shares of common stock were
issued to each of SharonAI and Mr. Zhou upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Special Meeting Postponement
As previously disclosed, on January 16,
2026, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired SharonAI’s equity interests in Texas Critical Data Centers LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company and 50/50 joint venture of the Company and SharonAI, for an aggregate purchase price of $70
million, of which (a) $10 million is payable in cash, (b) $10 million is payable in equity securities upon the earlier of March 31,
2026, and the Company’s next equity financing transaction, and (c) $50 million is payable in the form of a senior secured
convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”). On March 31, 2026,
the Company paid SharonAI $9.85 million in cash and issued to SharonAI 2,091,351 shares of common stock. On April 10, 2026, the
Company issued 893,724 shares of common stock to SharonAI. The entirety of the acquisition consideration is subject to a 19.99%
issuance cap (the “Share Cap”) and stockholder approval is needed to
issue any shares of the Company’s common stock above the Share Cap.
On March 16, 2026, the Company filed the definitive
proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Special Meeting of its
Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve proposals related to the issuance of shares of common stock in excess
of the Share Cap. The Special Meeting was originally scheduled to be held on April 15, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, via live webcast
and by teleconference. The Company has decided to postpone the Special Meeting to allow additional time for the Company to supplement
disclosure in the Proxy Statement to provide information with respect to certain events since the filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement,
which supplemental disclosure will be included in a supplement to the Proxy Statement filed by the Company. There is no change to the
purpose or any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Special Meeting.
The Special Meeting will now be held on April
16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, via live webcast and by teleconference, using the following information:
