On August 17, 2026, the Company announced that BUZZ entered into a GPU cloud services agreement (the “Agreement’) with the Customer pursuant to which it will provide the Customer with access to a dedicated GPU cluster. The cluster will consist of 2,016 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs in NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 rack-scale systems and will be deployed at a facility in Merritt, British Columbia.
