The Company has proposed transitioning portions of the existing operation beyond traditional cryptocurrency mining to support broader computing applications while also developing a new <strong>50-megawatt<\/strong> data center and funding construction of a new <strong>65-megawatt<\/strong> HES substation. Approximately <strong>15 megawatts<\/strong> of the new capacity would remain available for other HES customers, supporting future economic development and grid reliability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The proposed expansion builds upon Sphere 3D&#8217;s broader transformation into an <strong>AI Infrastructure<\/strong>, <strong>Digital Infrastructure<\/strong>, <strong>Data Center<\/strong>, and <strong>Power-Backed Computing<\/strong> company. Earlier this year, the Company announced plans to rebrand as <strong>DarkHorse Technologies Inc.<\/strong>, reflecting its strategic shift toward next-generation computing infrastructure as demand for AI-powered data centers continues to accelerate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alongside <strong>Sphere 3D (NASDAQ: ANY)<\/strong>, investors have also been highlighting several oversold companies to watch, including <strong>Nuwellis Inc.

(NASDAQ: DFNS)<\/strong>, and <strong>Keel Infrastructure Corp. (NASDAQ: KEEL) (TSX: KEEL)<\/strong>, as market participants monitor emerging opportunities across AI infrastructure, technology, healthcare, defense, and digital infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With municipalities across North America establishing policies for large-scale data centers, companies with access to scalable power infrastructure and strategic energy assets are increasingly positioned to benefit from the long-term expansion of <strong>AI Data Centers<\/strong>, <strong>GPU Infrastructure<\/strong>, and <strong>High-Performance Computing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Disclaimers: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides investors with a safe harbor with regard to forward-looking statements.
