Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement
On August 16, 2026, WhiteFiber, Inc. (the “Company”), through
its wholly owned subsidiary, Enovum Data Centers Corp., a Canadian corporation (the “Buyer”), and Unifi Manufacturing,
Inc. (“UMI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Unifi, Inc., entered into a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated
as of August 16, 2026 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, UMI agreed to sell to Buyer, and Buyer
agreed to purchase from UMI, certain real property, as identified in the Purchase Agreement, consisting of industrial/manufacturing building
spaces and certain land underlying and surrounding the same located in Yadkin County, North Carolina, for a cash purchase price of $60.0
million (the “Purchase Price”). An earnest money deposit of $2.25 million will be deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms
of the Purchase Agreement, of which $1.0 million may become non-refundable to Buyer if Buyer elects to extend the inspection period pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Unless accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the closing of the transaction
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) is scheduled to occur on the date that is forty-five (45) days after
the expiration of the Inspection Period (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Inspection Period will expire on September 15, 2026,
unless extended by the Buyer.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties,
which shall survive for twelve months following the Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, UMI shall not have indemnification
obligations for the breach of representations and warranties made in the Purchase Agreement until all losses of Buyer, individually or
in the aggregate, equal to or exceed $0.1 million, in which case UMI shall be obligated to indemnify Buyer from and against such losses
in an amount not to exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price. The Purchase Agreement contains customary closing conditions, as
well as conditions (i) requiring confirmation of certain available energy capacity and an energy study verifying potential energy capacity
of the transferred property, (ii) requiring receipt of applicable governmental and other third party approvals for separating, and the
parties’ agreement on ancillary documents necessary to separate, the transferred property from UMI’s remaining property, and
(iii) requiring the parties’ agreement on the terms of post-closing occupancy agreements and a partial lease back of some of the
transferred property.
Each of the two properties
covered in the Purchase Agreement is expected to be served with a minimum of 30 megawatts of gross electrical power supply, for a combined
minimum of 60 megawatts across the properties, with the potential for up to an additional 69 megawatts of gross electrical power supply
per property to become available within seven years after the date of the Closing, representing a potential combined maximum of up to
198 megawatts across the properties, in each case subject to confirmation as a condition to Closing.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 17, 2026, the Company
issued a press release announcing the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws relating to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the anticipated timing and satisfaction of closing conditions under
the Purchase Agreement. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein are “forward-looking statements.”
These forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “intends,”
“expects,” “anticipated,” “currently expected” or similar expressions, involving known and unknown risks
and uncertainties. These statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results
to differ materially, including whether the conditions to closing will be satisfied, whether the Closing will occur on the anticipated
timeline or at all, and whether the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement will be completed on the terms described herein.
These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are inherently subject
to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events, including the Closing Date, may differ materially from the results anticipated
in these forward-looking statements.
Actual results, performance
or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions
on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the Purchase Agreement will close on the terms or
timeline described herein, or at all, or that the forward-looking statements contained herein are reflective of future performance to
any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance, as projected
information is based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors,
many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date of this Current Report, and the Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise occurring after the date of this Current Report.

Exhibit 99.1
WhiteFiber Expands North Carolina Data Center
Footprint with Agreement to Acquire Two New Development Sites
NC-2 and NC-3 would add 60 MW of initial capacity,
with the potential to support approximately 200 MW over time
NEW YORK, August 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteFiber, Inc. (NASDAQ:
WYFI) (“WhiteFiber” or the “Company”), a leading provider of AI infrastructure and high-performance computing solutions,
today announced that, through its wholly owned subsidiary Enovum Data Centers Corp., it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
two industrial properties in Yadkin County, North Carolina. WhiteFiber intends to retrofit the properties into data center campuses to
be known as NC-2 and NC-3.
Located approximately 55 miles from WhiteFiber’s NC-1 data center campus
in Madison, North Carolina, NC-2 and NC-3 would significantly expand the Company’s presence in the state. Their proximity to NC-1 would
allow WhiteFiber to build on the regional development experience, operating capabilities and relationships it has established through
its existing campus.
The properties are expected to provide a combined minimum of 60 MW
of initial gross utility capacity. Initial due diligence indicates that NC-2 and NC-3 have the potential to support up to approximately
200 MW of combined gross utility capacity over time. WhiteFiber is targeting initial ready-for-service capacity in the third quarter of
2027, subject to completion of the acquisition and customary development conditions.
WhiteFiber is engaged in advanced discussions with prospective customers
and has received non-binding letters of intent with investment-grade credit support. The properties’ existing industrial infrastructure
and surrounding land are well suited to WhiteFiber’s retrofit-first development strategy, which is designed to accelerate time-to-market
and improve capital efficiency relative to traditional greenfield development.
“This agreement is an important next step in scaling WhiteFiber’s
data center platform,” said Sam Tabar, Chief Executive Officer of WhiteFiber. “NC-2 and NC-3 would expand our North Carolina
footprint near NC-1, allowing us to build on the capabilities and relationships we have established in the region. With strong prospective
customer interest and initial capacity targeted for 2027, we believe these properties can become a meaningful next phase of our growth.
We look forward to working closely with local stakeholders and being a responsible long-term partner to the community.”
The cash purchase price for the properties is $60.0 million. The transaction
is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
