SharonAI Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Sharon AI”), Australia’s leading Neocloud (SHAZ:OTC Markets, SHAZW:OTC Markets), announces the completion of an at least US$100m capital raising in the form of a Convertible Note, as of the close of business on Friday, the 19^th of December, 2025. Both new and existing institutional investors and strategic corporates participated, with Canaccord Genuity Australia appointed as the sole lead manager.

The net proceeds from the capital raising are expected to be primarily used to accelerate the deployment of high density computing power in the form of NVIDIA GPUs, including B200s, B300s and GB300s. The visibility of both the acquisition and deployment of this compute is expected to accelerate Sharon AI’s ability to engage with additional potential customers.

Sharon AI Chairman and Co-Founder, James Manning, said, “This funding is expected to accelerate the deployment of high-density compute infrastructure, strengthen our partnerships with NEXTDC and all of our ecosystem partners, and drive revenue growth across the Asia-Pacific region as we build Australia's leading sovereign Neocloud platform.”

On November 4^th, Sharon AI announced it had signed an agreement with NEXTDC to materially expand its data center footprint, with up to 50MW of additional capacity across NEXTDC’s Australian and Asia-Pacific data center network. Similarly, the visibility over the acquisition and deployment of GPU compute infrastructure firms up Sharon AI’s ability to formally lease additional capacity with NEXTDC.

Sharon AI looks forward to placing this new compute order, strengthening further our relationship with our growing partner network, which, in addition to the above, also includes Cisco, Megaport, Lenovo, VAST Data and World Wide Technology.

Sharon AI continues to engage with a wide variety of existing and potential customers across the Asia-Pacific region and endeavours to provide high density compute solutions to meet their current and future needs.
