We intend to provide updates if and when material developments occur."
The Company has not yet entered into definitive agreements for the acquisition, financing, deployment or leasing of AI infrastructure hardware. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete any such transaction or that any planned initiative will result in revenue or stockholder value.
