**MERGER AGREEMENT WITH MAGICBYTE, INC. (D/B/A EIGEN AI LABS)**

On May 1, 2026, Nebius Group N.V. ("Nebius"), Empire Acquisition Corp 1, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nebius ("Merger Sub 1") and Empire Acquisition Corp 2, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nebius ("Merger Sub 2") entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with MagicByte, Inc. (d/b/a Eigen AI Labs) (the "Target"), and certain other parties thereto, pursuant to which the parties intend to effectuate two mergers (the "Mergers"), whereby Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into the Target, with the Target continuing as the intermediate surviving corporation (the "Intermediate Surviving Entity"), then, immediately thereafter, the Intermediate Surviving Entity will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nebius and the surviving corporation of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants customary for a transaction of this type. The boards of directors of both Nebius and the Target have approved the transaction, and the transaction is not subject to the approval of the shareholders of Nebius. The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement is also subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this type, including antitrust clearance, and is expected to occur in the coming months.

The consideration under the Merger Agreement will consist of up to approximately $98 million in cash, subject to adjustments, and approximately 3.8 million Nebius Class A shares, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. With respect to the stock consideration, the founders and the other continuing employees will receive 15% of their applicable stock consideration at closing with the remaining stock consideration subject to time-based restrictions on transfer, and forfeiture in certain cases, over a four-year period.

A press release announcing the signing of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

**INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE**

Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company's Registration Statements on Form F-3ASR (File No. 333-286932) and Form S-8 (File No. 333-286934), including any prospectuses forming a part of such Registration Statements, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.

**Nebius agrees to acquire Eigen AI, strengthening Nebius Token Factory as a frontier inference platform**

· Combines
 Eigen AI's industry-leading inference stack with Nebius's global capacity

· Jointly
 optimized endpoints achieved top rankings on Artificial Analysis across multiple models

· Eigen
 AI's founding team, including MIT HAN Lab researchers, will establish Nebius's Bay
 Area engineering and research presence

**Amsterdam, May 1, 2026** — (NASDAQ: NBIS), the AI cloud company, today announced an agreement to acquire <u>Eigen AI</u>, a leading inference and model optimization company.

The acquisition will strengthen Nebius Token Factory as a frontier managed inference platform for production AI, combining a battle-tested optimization stack with Nebius's global compute capacity and AI cloud platform, and will add elite inference research talent to the company's established in-house AI R&D capabilities.

Following close, Eigen AI's inference and post-training optimization layers will be integrated directly into Nebius Token Factory, which provides enterprise-grade autoscaling endpoints and fine-tuning pipelines across all major open-source models. The two companies have already delivered jointly optimized implementations of leading open source models that ranked <u>among the fastest</u> on Artificial Analysis.

The acquisition also accelerates Nebius's expansion in the US. Eigen AI's founding team – researchers who have developed optimization techniques and tools the industry runs on – will join Nebius to establish a Nebius engineering and research presence in the San Francisco Bay Area.

**Roman Chernin, co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Nebius,** said:

"We are operating in a capacity-scarcity world where AI builders need optimized inference and infrastructure scale. The integration of Eigen AI's optimization capabilities and founding team will establish Nebius Token Factory at the frontier of inference, offering customers market-leading model performance and unit economics with massive compute capacity to back it at scale."

Eigen AI's founding team brings deep expertise from research that shapes how the industry deploys inference today. Co-founders Ryan Hanrui Wang and Wei-Chen Wang are alumni of MIT's HAN Lab, led by Professor Song Han, a pioneering researcher in AI computing and model efficiency.

Ryan's pioneering Sparse Attention (SpAtten) work is the most-cited HPCA paper since 2020, while Wei-Chen received the MLSys 2024 Best Paper Award for Activation-aware Weight Quantization (AWQ) quantization – now the standard for 4-bit model serving in production deployments. Co-founder Di Jin, an MIT CSAIL PhD, brings deep expertise in post-training and large-scale model alignment, having contributed to Meta's Llama 3 and Llama 4 post-training and co-authored the CGPO RLHF framework.

**Ryan Hanrui Wang, co-founder and CEO of Eigen AI,** said:

"We're proud to join Nebius and work alongside the Token Factory team to push the boundaries of inference performance. Nebius has built a world-class AI cloud with a deep engineering culture that perfectly aligns with our own. Together, we are removing the friction of AI model customization and deployment so developers can run models reliably in production without managing the underlying infrastructure."

Inference is now the fastest-growing segment of AI, forecast to account for <u>about two-thirds of compute demand</u> this year. Open-source model usage is rising alongside it. With more workloads moving into production, the system optimization layer is becoming critical infrastructure.

Running inference efficiently in production is inherently complex and requires deep expertise across the entire execution stack, from how models are represented, to how GPU kernels execute them, to how workloads are scheduled in real time.

Open-source models typically ship unoptimized, and newer architectures such as Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), Compressed Sparse Attention (CSA), reasoning, and long-context models introduce additional challenges around memory, routing, and compute efficiency. Most teams do not have the capacity to solve these problems in-house.

Eigen AI addresses this challenge with a full-stack optimization approach that spans the entire model lifecycle. From post-training and fine-tuning to production inference optimization, across all major open-source models in production demand, including GPT-OSS, Gemma, Qwen, Llama, Nemotron, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi and MiniMax.

By integrating Eigen AI's optimization layer directly into Nebius Token Factory, Nebius removes this bottleneck across the lifecycle. The system-, model-, and kernel-level techniques developed by the Eigen team are designed to extract materially better performance from hardware out of the box, delivering higher throughput and lower cost per inference without additional engineering overhead.

As a result, Nebius Token Factory customers will benefit from faster time to production, significantly better unit economics, and the ability to adopt new models more quickly. Existing Eigen AI customers will gain access to Nebius's global AI infrastructure and platform capabilities.

The deal consideration will be paid in a combination of cash and Nebius's Class A shares with aggregate value as of signing, based on Nebius's 30-day weighted average stock price, of approximately $643 million, subject to adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to certain customary conditions, including antitrust clearance.
