“Site II would add approximately $391 million in base-term contracted revenue to previously announced base-term contracted revenue of $1.25 billion for Site I.”
“NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Host Digital Inc. (NYSE American: HOST) ("Host Digital" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated digital infrastructure company that develops, acquires, owns, and operates institutional-quality, RightScaled data centers for artificial intelligence ("AI") and high-performance computing ("HPC"), began trading on Friday, September 18 on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol "HOST."”

Host Digital expects to acquire from the Sponsor a second data center facility, also located in northeast Oklahoma ("Site II"). The Sponsor has signed a 12-year take-or-pay lease for Site II, with a publicly traded AI cloud provider, for approximately 20 MW of gross / 16 MW of critical IT load, representing approximately $391 million in base-term rent, or approximately $819 million over a total 22-year term assuming all renewal options are exercised, which is expected to be supported by a lease backstop from an investment-grade publicly listed U.S.-based global technology company.”

“Site II: Host Digital expects to acquire from the Sponsor a second data center facility, also located in northeast Oklahoma ("Site II"), pursuant to its rights under the Preferential Rights Agreement.

The terms also include a 2.5% annual rent escalator with the tenant bearing operating expenses. The lease is expected to be supported by a lease backstop from a different investment-grade publicly listed U.S.-based global technology company. The contribution of Site II remains subject to negotiation and the execution of definitive agreements.[1]”
“Sponsor relationship: Under the Preferential Rights Agreement, Sponsor provided the Company with a 24-month exclusive right of first offer and right of first refusal on qualifying data center assets from the Sponsor's pipeline, which includes an additional 450 MW of RightScaled data center assets with the potential ability to be delivered to tenants in 2027, as well as longer-term, "land and expand" growth from both grid and behind-the-meter expansions at existing sites, followed by the potential development of larger scale projects which may potentially be delivered to tenants in 2028 and beyond.”
“Differentiated approach: Host Digital expects to target a combination of RightScaled, 20-100 MW grid-powered assets with existing or near-term electricity in place, which it expects to be able to deliver to tenants in 2026, 2027 and 2028, and which can potentially be expanded with additional utility capacity and behind-the-meter private grid generation, along with larger scale opportunities which may potentially be delivered in 2028 and beyond. This "barbell" approach aims to accelerate revenue by emphasizing speed to power, while maximizing opportunities for scale over time. The Company focuses on rapidly delivering "turnkey" facilities, which go beyond a typical powered shell to meet tenants, chipmakers and end users where they are, in what the Company considers a "sweet spot" of development cost and lease rates.”
Here are some of the company’s comments from this press release:
"Host Digital is entering the public markets with the three things that matter most in AI infrastructure today: access to power, contracted demand, and a model we can repeat," said Shawn Matthews, Chairman of Host Digital. "At our initial site, we have 43 MW of critical IT load committed under a long-term lease. We now have started negotiations to acquire a second energized and leased facility. If we complete that acquisition, Host Digital expects to have approximately 59.3 MW of total contracted critical IT load and an aggregate of $1.64 billion in base-term contracted revenue across the two sites. Our listing on the New York Stock Exchange American gives us a public-markets platform to continue building that portfolio with discipline."
Furthermore:
"Infrastructure is ultimately constrained by how quickly operators can secure power and bring capacity online," said Harmol Samra, Chief Executive Officer of Host Digital. "The Host Digital platform's strategy addresses this constraint. We target acquiring sites where power is already flowing or available in the near term, then develop against long-term contracted demand, rather than building speculative capacity and hoping tenants follow. Site II is exactly the type of asset our RightScaled strategy was designed to capture: energized infrastructure, a modular design, contracted demand, and a defined path to tenant delivery."
Importantly:
“Host Digital's development model centers on RightScaled sites of approximately 20 MW to 100 MW with grid power available today or in the near term, supplemented by behind-the-meter generation where appropriate, and developed against long-term contracted demand from strong or credit-enhanced counterparties. The strategy is designed to bring new capacity to market in months rather than years while avoiding many of the interconnection, permitting, and infrastructure constraints facing larger greenfield developments.
Host Digital expects to own and control the core physical infrastructure at each facility, including the real estate, power and interconnection rights, utility agreements, electrical systems, and cooling infrastructure. Tenants are expected to control their own compute infrastructure and model layers, allowing Host Digital to operate as the underlying digital infrastructure and real estate platform rather than taking technology or compute risk.”
Plus:
“In connection with the closing of the merger, Host Digital entered into a Preferential Rights Agreement with its Sponsor, an entity formed and controlled by the founders of Host Digital Infrastructure LLC. For 24 months, the agreement gives Host Digital exclusive rights of first offer and first refusal on data center assets the Sponsor acquires or develops and intends to place in a public company vehicle. The Sponsor's potential pipeline includes four additional sites with more than 450 MW of gross power capacity targeted for delivery in 2026 and 2027, including more than 350 MW of grid power and more than 100 MW of behind-the-meter capacity.”
