NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

Today, SharonAI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:SHAZ) and its subsidiaries (“Sharon AI” or “the Company”), a leading Australian neocloud, announced the accelerated receipt of the remaining outstanding US$50 million Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, and receipt of a true-up share issuance from New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAI).

This accelerated receipt results in total proceeds of sale of Sharon AI’s 50% ownership interest in Texas Critical Data Centers LLC (“TCDC”) to NUAI of US$74 million, US$4 million higher than the originally anticipated US$70 million.

On April 10, 2026, NUAI delivered an Optional Redemption Notice to Sharon AI, exercising its right to redeem the full outstanding principal amount of the US$50 million Promissory Note (originally maturing June 30, 2026), plus accrued interest.

Sharon AI has the option to convert up to 20% of the principal amount of the note into NUAI common stock by April 17, 2026, with the balance to be paid in cash by April 24, 2026.

Additionally, NUAI issued a True-Up Notice pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement.

Following NUAI’s recent public offering of common stock at $3.35 per share, Sharon AI is entitled to approximately 893,724 additional shares of NUAI common stock.

Together with the US$10 million in cash already received in late March, these steps bring the total consideration to US$74 million to Sharon AI, ahead of the original payment schedule.

James Manning, CEO of Sharon AI, said:“The early redemption of the US$50 million Promissory Note and the true-up share issuance from NUAI demonstrate the strength of our partnership and strengthens our balance sheet with non-dilutive funding. This accelerated capital inflow enhances our financial flexibility as we continue to scale our sovereign AI and HPC cloud infrastructure in Australia. We are focused on deploying advanced GPU capacity, strengthening partnerships, and delivering high-performance AI solutions to hyperscale, enterprise, AI native, research and government customers in Asia-Pacific, while creating sustained value for our shareholders.”
