Overview Company Overview A developer of right - sized, 40 – 90 MW data centers for AI and HPC customers, built on contracted power. AIB develops, owns and operates data centers for AI and high - performance computing, securing contracted utility power before committing development capital. Power first Utility agreements executed before development capital is committed. Contracted demand Capacity sold to creditworthy customers under long - term agreements. Project - level funding Structured to limit reliance on corporate common equity. The portfolio at a glance (1) Contracted utility power ~120 MW across the portfolio Contracted critical IT capacity 50 MW at CLT1 Initial customer term 12 years two five - year renewal options Named development sites 5 sites four metro markets (1) As of October 14, 2026.

Market Powered Capacity Is Scarce Vacancy is at record lows and new grid connections take years in the largest markets. Data center vacancy, largest U.S. markets, Q1 2026 Northern Virginia 0.3% Atlanta 1.0% Dallas - Fort Worth 1.8% Chicago 2.2% Vacancy rate, percent of inventory Only contracted power can be committed to a date 4+ years Average wait for a new grid connection, reaching a decade in some markets 88% Of capacity under construction in Dallas - Fort Worth already pre - leased Grid timelines, equipment lead times and permitting vary by market, and power is not the only constraint on new development.

Business model Where AIB Fits in the AI Infrastructure Chain AIB builds and operates the powered facility. Customers own the compute inside it. Input Power and land Utility capacity and a controlled site. AIB Powered data center infrastructure Designs, builds, owns and operates the facility: the building, the electrical infrastructure, and the cooling. Sells contracted critical IT capacity under long - term agreements. Customer Cloud and neocloud providers Install and run their own GPUs. Nebius sits here. End market AI developers and enterprises Train and run AI models on that compute. AIB owns The building, the power infrastructure and the cooling systems. The customer owns The servers and GPUs installed inside the facility. AIB is paid For contracted critical IT capacity over the term of the agreement. AIB Data Centers Inc. 6
Business model A Repeatable Sequence The development model described in the October 7, 2026 shareholder letter. Secure power Utility agreements and site control in markets with available power. Complete Contract customer capacity Sell contracted critical IT capacity under a long - term agreement. Complete Secure project funding Customer prepayments plus project - level debt and preferred equity. In progress Develop and deliver Permitting, procurement and phased construction, hall by hall. In progress Generate long - term revenue Contracted revenue over the initial term, then repeat at the next site. Planned Why the sequence may be an advantage Utility access and site control are the long - lead items. Holding them first shortens time to service. Permitting, procurement and community engagement can run in parallel once power and site are held. Phased construction lets the first hall generate revenue before the full site is complete.

Anchor project economics Anchor Lease Economics in AI Colocation Third - party market context. These are other companies' disclosures, not AIB's terms. Disclosed anchor leases since mid - 2025 $M / MW / yr Total contract value / term Critical IT Signed Anchor lease $2.16M $865M / 10 yr 40 MW Dec 2025 WhiteFiber / Nscale $1.94M $1.25B / 15 yr 43 MW Aug 2026 Host Digital / undisclosed $1.87M $7.00B / 15 yr 250 MW Jun 2025 Applied Digital / CoreWeave $1.8M to $2.1M Per MW of critical IT capacity per year, across disclosed anchor leases since mid - 2025 These figures frame the economics of long - term AI colocation agreements generally. No AIB rate or contract value is derived or implied from them, and the table should not be read as indicative of the terms of AIB's customer agreement. Annualized value per MW = initial - term contract value ÷ critical IT MW ÷ contract term. Excludes escalators, pass - throughs, installation fees and renewals.

Summary Company Highlights The case rests on the platform and the portfolio, not on a single contract. Power first, in a market where power is scarce Utility agreements and site control are executed before development capital is committed, in markets where new grid connections take years. Validated by a long - term anchor customer A 12 - year agreement for 50 MW of contracted critical IT capacity at CLT1, with two five - year renewal options. A repeatable path from power to revenue Approximately 120 MW of contracted utility power across five named sites, with the same sequence intended to run at each. Funded at the project level Customer prepayments and project - level debt and preferred equity are intended to limit reliance on corporate common equity. AIB Data Centers Inc. 15

Appendix How AIB Labels Capacity Utility power, energized capacity and critical IT load are measured differently and are not additive. Capacity definitions Where it applies today Definition Label 65 MW at CLT1 under a 15 - year electric service agreement; 55 MW in Texas Utility capacity under executed agreements Contracted utility power 50 MW at CLT1 Critical IT load under a signed customer agreement Customer - contracted capacity 15 MW in Texas, energized at closing Power available today Energized 40 MW in Texas under a facilities extension agreement; CLT1 until utility service begins Contracted power not yet energized Under development DFW2, GSO1 and MSP1. MW shown on the portfolio map are management estimates No executed utility agreement Earlier stage Utility power is measured at the utility connection and critical IT capacity is measured at the IT equipment, which is lower. A single site may fall into more than one label at the same time. AIB Data Centers Inc. 20
