NYSE American: AIB | 7 CLT1: Minimal Equity Needed to Execute Customer prepayments and project-level capital are expected to fund most of the build. Sources of CLT-01 development capital Prepayments Covers initial development costs Guaranty from Nebius ($50+ billion market cap) Expected Project-level debt and preferred equity, raised at the project rather than the parent Together, these reduce the anticipated need for corporate-level common equity. Financing example: CLT-01 Illustrative How the ~$800M build is funded Construction debt $560M 70.0% Equity $100M 12.5% Preferred equity $140M 17.5% AIB common equity: funded with prepayments Illustrative example from the Company's consolidated cash flow model; not a projection or guidance. The final capital stack could change and there may be a need to raise equity for the project depending on final capital stack. Total project cost and construction debt at 70% of cost are model inputs; with preferred equity shown as illustrated. Project-level debt and preferred equity have not been arranged. See Forward-Looking Statements. Covers initial development costs

Listed Peers Trade at a Median of ~$31M per Energized MW At September 28, 2026 prices, AIB traded at approximately $2M per energized MW. AIB's energized capacity excludes 50 MW contracted at CLT1, which is expected to be energized in 2027. Including contracted capacity would materially change AIB's per-MW metric. The comparison reflects companies at varying stages of development and operational scale. Market capitalization per energized MW IREN ~$39M CIFR ~$34M WULF ~$31M HUT ~$16M APLD ~$15M CORZ ~$12M AIB ~$2M Peer median ~$31M Market capitalization at the September 28, 2026 close (Yahoo Finance) divided by energized capacity per each company's latest 10-Q, 10-K, earnings release or press release; contracted, under-construction and planned capacity excluded; where a company reports AI/HPC and bitcoin capacity separately, both are included. Median across seven peers: APLD, CIFR, CRWV, CORZ, HUT, IREN and WULF; CoreWeave is included in the median but not shown.

How AIB Labels Capacity Capacity figures in this presentation use five labels. Utility power and critical IT load are measured differently and are not additive. Label Definition Where it applies today Contracted power Utility capacity under executed agreements 65 MW at CLT-01, South Carolina (15-year ESA) 55 MW in Texas Customer-contracted capacity Critical IT load under a signed customer agreement 50 MW at CLT-01, contracted Energized Power available today 15 MW in Texas, energized at closing Under development Contracted power not yet energized 40 MW in Texas, under an FEA CLT-01, until ESA service begins Under evaluation No definitive agreements ~505 MW across five additional sites, including ~260 MW under non-binding LOIs Contracted power is measured as utility load; critical IT capacity is measured at the IT equipment and is lower. Customer-contracted capacity: AIB Press Release Texas: Company press release dated September 14, 2026. Capacity under evaluation: Company press release dated August 14, 2026; ~260 MW under non-binding LOIs as of August 2026. FEA: facilities extension agreement. NYSE American: AIB | 15
