-

Operational Structure: Hut 8 and Fluidstack expect to execute an Operations Services Agreement for ongoing data center operations, backed by an additional Google backstop of payment obligations.

Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: River Bend reflects the strength of Hut 8s power-first, innovation-driven development model, validated by the world-class counterparties we are executing alongside. This Agreement is the result of disciplined, patient execution as we focused on securing the right transaction, not just the first. Together with the State of Louisiana, Entergy, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Vertiv, and Jacobs, we expect to deliver next-generation AI and high-performance computing infrastructure at scale, and we are committed to applying the same rigor and long-term focus as we advance commercialization across our broader development pipeline.

Scalable, Partnership-Driven Execution Model

Hut 8 is developing River Bend through a scalable, partnership-driven execution model designed to de-risk project delivery. The Company has built a model around what it believes to be realistic, rigorously developed timelines, a comprehensive and integrated plan across the project lifecycle, and a roster of blue-chip partners aligned to defined functions of execution. This framework is designed to be repeatable as the Company scales across its broader development pipeline.

Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: Our execution model for River Bend brings the rigor and discipline that have long defined Hut 8s approach to digital infrastructure development to a new category of infrastructure. By integrating industry-leading counterparties throughout the project lifecycle, we are strengthening delivery certainty and positioning River Bend to set a new standard for how next-generation AI infrastructure is designed and developed.

J.P. Morgan (NYSE: JPM), as lead left loan underwriter and active loan structurer, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (NYSE: GS) are expected to serve as loan underwriters in the project-level financing. The parties have reached commercial agreement on certain high-level terms for the financing, which is expected to provide 85% LTC. The closing of the financing remains subject to the negotiation and execution of terms and definitive transaction agreements and customary closing conditions.

Noah Wintroub, Global Chairman of Investment Banking for J.P. Morgan, said: River Bend demonstrates how, when Hut 8 brings together the combination of innovative thinking, an aligned team, and institutional discipline to a rapidly evolving sector, it translates into real, enduring value. Were proud to bring the full power of J.P. Morgan to bear for this project, Hut 8, and our communities to help them succeed. This project highlights our commitment to playing a role in helping America build the critical infrastructure needed to compete, while also creating jobs and investing in a region that is vital to our nations future.

Jacobs Solutions (NYSE: J), a global Solutions Provider, and professional services firm, is engaged as EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) partner, in collaboration with Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical infrastructure.

Bob Pragada, CEO of Jacobs, said: Jacobs brings decades of global expertise in delivering complex infrastructure for Advanced Facilities to some of the most discerning clients in the world, and this partnership represents the next chapter in that work. Working within Hut 8s development framework, we will apply our

End-to-End EPCM and program management expertise to execute with precision and predictability, keeping Safety, quality and timelines tightly aligned. Our collaboration with Hut 8 reflects the shared discipline and ambition needed to deliver a project we believe will become the benchmark for AI infrastructure.

State Partnerships and Economic Impact

Hut 8 is developing River Bend in collaboration with key Louisiana stakeholders. Working with Entergy Louisiana (NYSE: ETR), Hut 8 secured an initial 330 MW of utility capacity for the campus, supporting the initial River Bend lease, with the potential to scale by up to an additional 1,000 MW of utility capacity. At that breadth, River Bend is expected to rank among the largest data center campuses globally and among the largest private capital projects in Louisianas history.

Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana said: Hut 8s investment in River Bend demonstrates that Louisiana has the resources, leadership, and vision to compete for the most consequential opportunities in the world. By aligning with Hut 8s power-first approach to digital infrastructure development, we will bring thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of investment into our economy, positioning Louisiana at the forefront of an industry that will define the decades ahead.

Phillip May, President and CEO of Entergy Louisiana, said: Louisiana continues to win. Hut 8s investment in River Bend builds on our track record of attracting global-scale projects in the industries of the future. As the campus grows, it will further cement Louisianas position as a national leader in energy and innovation, creating thousands of jobs and reaffirming our ability to compete and win on the global stage.

At the peak of construction, Hut 8 anticipates approximately 1,000 construction workers on-site. Once operational, the campus is expected to create 75 or more direct new jobs in West Feliciana Parish and 190 or more indirect and induced jobs, for a total of 265 or more potential new jobs across the Capital Region. Employment is expected to expand significantly as future phases of the campus are developed.

Secretary Susan Bourgeois of LED said: River Bend demonstrates that Louisianas economic strategy is delivering results. This project will generate high-wage jobs and create pathways for Louisianans to build long-term careers in the industries of the future. Its a clear example of how aligning policy, partnership and people translates into lasting opportunity.

President Kenny Havard of West Feliciana Parish said: For West Feliciana Parish, River Bend is a generational opportunity. It will create thousands of construction jobs, high-wage permanent positions, and new tax revenues that will strengthen our schools, healthcare, and public services for generations. We are grateful that Hut 8 chose our parish and is working with us to ensure the project reflects our communitys values and aspirations. River Bend puts West Feliciana firmly on the map as part of the global AI economy, and we are proud to play our role in it.

Development Pipeline Update

In conjunction with the Transaction, Hut 8 has introduced a new category to its development framework: Energy Capacity Under Construction. This designation applies to sites where Hut 8 has executed a definitive offtake agreement and commenced construction activities. Projects in this category will transition into Energy Capacity Under Management once commercialized. The Transaction advances 330 MW of utility capacity from River Bend to Energy Capacity Under Construction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes a non-GAAP financial measure, expected net operating income (NOI) contribution, which the Company defines as expected lease revenue for a particular lease less any non-reimbursable operating expenses attributable to the leased property. The Companys management team uses expected NOI contribution to measure the expected operating performance of a particular lease. Operating income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to expected NOI contribution. In evaluating expected NOI contribution, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur non-reimbursable lease operating expenses that are not currently known. The Companys presentation of expected NOI contribution should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Expected NOI contribution has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider expected NOI contribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For example, expected NOI contribution excludes the impact of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Companys consolidated financial results. Other companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts, may calculate expected NOI contribution differently than the Company does and, accordingly, the Companys expected NOI contribution may not be comparable to similar measures published by such companies. No reconciliation of expected NOI contribution is included in this press release because the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in operating income without unreasonable efforts as such quantification would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Additional Transaction Information and Upcoming Communications

Hut 8 has made available on its website an investor presentation with further details regarding the Transaction.
