**APPLIED DIGITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business and Basis of Presentation**

Applied Digital Corporation (the "Company") is a designer, builder, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence, cloud, networking, and blockchain workloads. The Company has three reportable segments. Financial information for each segment is contained in *Note 16 - Business Segments*. All references to "Applied Digital Corporation," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company" mean Applied Digital Corporation and its subsidiaries.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, management determined that the Cloud Services Business, which operates primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, met the criteria to be classified as "held for sale." As a sale would represent a strategic shift for the Company, the Cloud Services Business was classified as discontinued operations.

On December 30, 2025, the Company announced it had entered into a non-binding term sheet for a proposed business combination of the Cloud Services Business with EKSO Bionics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EKSO) ("EKSO"), which, once closed, will go forward as ChronoScale Corporation ("ChronoScale"), an accelerated compute platform purpose-built to support AI workloads (the "Proposed Transaction").

On February 15, 2026, APLD Intermediate HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("APLD Intermediate"), APLD ChronoScale HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of APLD Intermediate ("Contributor"), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, which at the time of the closing of the Proposed Transaction, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Contributor, entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement with EKSO (the "Contribution and Exchange Agreement") for purposes of consummating the Proposed Transaction (the "Business Combination"), as a result of which (i) Applied Digital Cloud Corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ekso, (ii) Ekso will, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, continue as the parent of the combined company, and (iii) Ekso will change its name to ChronoScale.

Upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Company expects to initially own approximately 97% of the combined company. The Applied Digital Cloud and EKSO businesses would continue to operate upon consummation of the Proposed Transaction. Closing of the Proposed Transaction is subject to customary regulatory approval and satisfaction of closing conditions.

During the quarter ended February 28, 2026, the Company determined that the Cloud Services Business, which had previously been classified and reported as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10 and discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations due to the Company entering into the Contribution and Exchange Agreement.

As a result, effective February 15, 2026, the assets and liabilities of the Cloud Services Business have been reclassified from held for sale to held and used in their respective financial statement lines on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. Similarly, the results of the Cloud Services Business have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

In connection with this change in classification, the long-lived assets of the Cloud Services Business were remeasured in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-44 at the lower of (i) their carrying amounts immediately before classification as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation and amortization that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used, and (ii) their fair values at the date the Company determined that the held-for-sale criteria were no longer met. Management determined that as of February 15, 2026, when the Cloud Services Business no longer met the criteria for held for sale and discontinued operations, the carrying value of the long-lived assets of the Cloud Business was less than the fair value. As such, the Company recorded a loss on classification of held for sale of $59.7 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026 representing the write down of the Cloud Services Business assets to their carrying value as of February 15, 2026 when it no longer qualified as held for sale.

The statements of operations, cash flows, and segment information for prior periods have been adjusted to include the results of the Cloud Services Business within continuing operations rather than within discontinued operations, and previously classified assets and liabilities of the Cloud Services Business are presented within the respective held-and-used asset and liability line items as of each balance sheet date.

Revenues, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), total assets and liabilities, and cash flows previously reported as related to discontinued operations and asset and liabilities held for sale of the Cloud Services Business are now reported in the corresponding line items within continuing operations and held-and-used asset and liability categories for all periods presented. There was no material impact on the Company's previously reported net income, total assets, or equity as a result of this reclassification.

The reclassification was necessary because the Cloud Services Business no longer met the requirements for held for sale presentation and discontinued operations presentation as set forth in ASC 360-10 and ASC 205-20, respectively, as the planned sale did not occur and the segment remains part of the Company's ongoing operations as of February 28, 2026.

**Principles of Consolidation**

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. See *Note 9 - Variable Interest Entity* for further discussion.

In the Company's opinion, all necessary adjustments have been made for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, please refer to and read these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant Accounting Policies**

**Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates**

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

**Revenue Recognition**

*<u>Data Center Hosting Revenue</u>*

The Company recognizes revenue associated with our data center hosting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company provides energized space to customers who locate their hardware within the Company's co-hosting facility. Performance obligations are achieved simultaneously by providing the hosting environment for the customers' operations. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for a managed hosting environment supported by customer-provided equipment. Revenue is recognized based on the contractual fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements. Any ancillary revenue

for other services is generally recognized at a point in time when the services are complete. Customer contracts include advance payment terms. All advanced service payments are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue once the related service is provided.

*<u>HPC Hosting Revenue</u>*

We generate the majority of our HPC hosting revenue by leasing our properties to customers under operating lease agreements, which are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term if we determine it is probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected over the lease term. We commence recognition of revenue from rentals at the date the property is ready for its intended use by the tenant and the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. The excess of rents recognized as revenue over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is included in Accounts receivable and Other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rental payments received in excess of revenue recognized are classified as Deferred revenue on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including power and security cost, are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursable by customers ("tenant recoveries") as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred – which is generally on a ratable basis through the term of the lease. We account for and present rental revenue and tenant recoveries as a single component under rental and other services as the timing of recognition is the same, the pattern with which we transfer the right of use of the property and related services to the lessee are both on a straight-line basis and our leases qualify as operating leases.

Interconnection services include port and cross-connect services generally provided on terms that align with the respective lease term. We bill for these services on a monthly basis and recognize the revenue over the period the service is provided. Revenue for cross-connect installations is generally recognized in the period the cross-connect is installed.

Tenant fit-out services include the procurement and installation of customer equipment provided in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the customer. In the course of providing its services, the Company routinely subcontracts for services and incurs other direct costs on behalf of its clients which costs are passed through to the client and is recognized as revenue. The Company recognizes revenue using the percentage of completion model where by total costs incurred are divided by total costs expected to be incurred, which it believes to be the best measure of progress towards completion of the performance obligation.

We utilize the practical expedient in ASC 842 that allows us to account for lease and non-lease components associated with each lease as a single lease component recorded within revenue, instead of accounting for such items separately under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue ("ASC 606").

The Company began recognizing revenue associated with certain of its data center leases as accounted for under ASC 842 in the second quarter of the current fiscal year. See Note 14 - Leases for further information.

*<u>Cloud Services Revenue</u>*

The Company recognizes revenue associated with its cloud services business in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company provides managed cloud infrastructure services to customers, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, to help develop their advanced products. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for managed cloud services supported by Company-provided equipment. Revenues are recognized based on the fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements.

**Segments**

The Company has identified three reportable segments: data center hosting ("Data Center Hosting Business"), cloud services ("Cloud Services Business"), and high-performance compute hosting ("HPC Hosting Business"). These segments represent management's view of the business for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

**APPLIED DIGITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026

The Company's CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions primarily based on revenue and segment profit (loss), on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company's reportable segments. Operating results by segment include costs or expenses directly attributable to each segment, which include selling, general, and administrative expenses, gain on classification of held for sale and loss on abandonment of assets.

The Company does not allocate interest (income) expense, net, gain on change in fair value of derivatives, gain on change in fair value of investment, loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in fair value of debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on change in fair value of warrants or income tax expense to these segments for internal reporting purposes, as the Company does not believe that allocating these expenses is beneficial in evaluating segment performance.

The Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. Customer-owned hardware is installed in the Company's facilities and the Company provides operational and maintenance services for a fixed fee.

The Cloud Services Business primarily operates through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, and provides cloud services to customers at third party colocation centers located in Colorado, Minnesota and Utah, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, to develop their advanced products. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for an energized space supported by Company-provided equipment.

The HPC Hosting Business designs, builds, and operates data centers which are designed to support high-compute applications using advanced technologies and sophisticated infrastructures to provide services to customers.

See Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding the Company's significant accounting policies and use of estimates.

**Investments in equity securities**

The Company's long-term investments include equity securities without readily determinable fair values and equity securities with readily determinable fair values.

*<u>Equity securities without readily determinable fair values</u>*

The Company invests in equity securities, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. Equity securities are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized within gain (loss) on change in fair value of investments on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, the Company has elected the measurement alternative, recording these investments at cost minus impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. Quarterly, the Company performs a qualitative assessment for impairment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values. If impairment is indicated, the investment is written down to fair value through earnings.

*<u>Equity investments with readily determinable fair values</u>*

The Company accounts for certain of its investments in equity securities in accordance with ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825- 10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). In accordance with ASU 2016-01, the Company records all equity investments with readily determinable fair values at fair value calculated by the publicly traded stock price at the close of the reporting period within gain (loss) on change in fair value of investments on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations..

For further discussion of the Company's investments in equity securities, see *Note 5 - Related Party Transactions, Note 7 - Balance Sheet Components*, and *Note 8 - Derivative Assets*.

**Variable Interest Entity**

The Company consolidates a VIE where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity's operation in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidations. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power

For the Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026

to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of the entity and the risks the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in the VIE. All intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated.

**Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest**

The Company determined for the noncontrolling interest, the initial amount presented in temporary equity should be the initial carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest pursuant to ASC 805-20-30. Under ASC 805-20-30, noncontrolling interests are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date. However, as the noncontrolling interest has embedded features that require bifurcation, the fair value at issuance must be allocated between the components. The Company initially measured the noncontrolling interest by first allocating the proceeds from the offering to the derivatives and, with the residual net proceeds allocated to the temporary equity classified noncontrolling interest and the warrants based on their respective relative fair values. The Company will not subsequently remeasure the temporary equity classified noncontrolling interest until it is probable that the noncontrolling interest will become redeemable. However, the noncontrolling interest balance will be adjusted for the attribution of net income or loss of the Subsidiary to the noncontrolling interest holder as prescribed by ASC 810.

**Reclassifications**

The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to conform to our current period presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified certain amounts in "Property and equipment, net" to "Other assets". This reclassification has no impact on total assets or cash flows.

**Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash**

The Company's restricted cash balances consist of debt service reserves and letters of credit. The debt service reserves are held in separate accounts and are to be used to fund interest and principal on the Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) during construction. See further discussion in *Note 6 - Debt.* Additionally, the Company has letters of credit totaling $16.5 million and $38.3 million, as of February 28, 2026 and May 31, 2025, respectively, presented on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets within restricted cash. The Company is required to keep these balances, which are held in money market funds, in separate accounts for the duration of the letter of credit agreements, which have terms of up to two years. The letters of credit were issued in lieu of security deposits. The Company considers the money market funds to be Level 1 which the Company believes approximates fair value.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of February 28, 2026 and May 31, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

 **5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Related Party Transactions**

*Related Party Revenue*

Previously, related party revenue consisted of revenue from two customers, Customer E and Customer F. During the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, there was no related party revenue. Similarly, during the nine months ended February 28, 2026, there was no related party revenue. During the nine months ended February 28, 2025, there was approximately $1.2 million of related party revenue from Customer E and approximately $0.7 million of related party revenue from Customer F, neither of which is currently a customer of the Company.

Customer E is a subsidiary of an entity which, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, was deemed to beneficially own over 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. As of July 25, 2024, the controlling individual of the entity filed a Schedule 13G to report the fact that as of the date thereof, the entity had ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of such class of securities.

Customer F is 60% owned by an individual who, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, was deemed to beneficially own over 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. As of July 25, 2024, the individual filed a Schedule 13G to report the fact that as of the date thereof, the individual had ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of such class of securities.

*Base Electron*

Base Electron, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("Base Electron") is an independent power producer owned and managed by a combination of third parties, as well as certain officers and directors of the Company acting in their individual capacities, for the purpose of developing stabilized power generation and infrastructure to support the broader AI industry.

The Company is party to a Guarantee (the "Guarantee") in favor of The Babcock & Wilcox Company ("B&W"), pursuant to which it has agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full and timely performance by Base Electron, of its obligations under a Design-Build Agreement, dated February 26, 2026, by and between Base Electron and B&W (the

"Design-Build Agreement"). The Design-Build Agreement contemplates the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a power generation facility with an expected nameplate capacity of approximately 1.2 GW anticipated to expand power and capacity supplied to the grid and utility customers in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator ("MISO") region.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Guarantee and all of its existing and future obligations thereunder upon the occurrence of any one of the following events, (i) the listing of Base Electron's equity securities on a national securities exchange, (ii) the consummation by Base Electron of a financing transaction resulting in gross proceeds of at least $50 million (provided that Base Electron is current in its payments to B&W), or (iii) the payment by the Company of a termination fee equal to either $50 million (if paid by August 1, 2026 and Base Electron is current in its payments to B&W) or $100 million. As of February 28, 2026, no liability has been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as the Company has determined that the likelihood of Base Electron failing to perform or the Company terminating the Guarantee is not probable.

In connection with and as partial consideration for the Company's entry into the Guarantee, Base Electron issued to the Company approximately 10% of Base Electron's outstanding equity. The investment in Base Electron will be accounted for at cost under ASC 321 as it is an equity security without a readily determinable fair value and will be evaluated quarterly for impairment indicators. There were no impairment indicators during the quarter. As of February 28, 2026, the Company determined the fair value of the investment was $2.0 million, which was recorded as an other asset on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and a gain on change in fair value of investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

*Other Related Party Transactions*

Related party transactions included within selling, general and administrative expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations include software license fees of $0.1 million during the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, each, respectively, and $0.2 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, each, respectively, which were incurred with a company whose chairman is also a member of the Company's Board of Directors.

*Promissory Note*

On September 9, 2025, APLD FAR-01 LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a promissory note (the "Promissory Note") with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MEC"). The Promissory Note provided for an initial principal sum of $50 million (the "Loan"), which was drawn on the Closing Date.

The Loan bore interest at 8.0% per annum. From the Closing Date and for the succeeding twelve months (the "PIK Period"), accrued interest was to be paid in kind, with such payment in kind being capitalized to principal monthly and at such other times as specified in the Promissory Note. After the PIK Period, accrued interest was to be paid in cash in certain circumstances. The Promissory Note was to mature on the earliest of (i) the date of acceleration of the Loan, (ii) February 1, 2026, if the 200 MW Lease Execution (as defined therein) has not occurred on or before October 31, 2025, or (iii) September 9, 2027.

The Loan could be accelerated and the Company required to prepay the full outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note, together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and any other amounts then due and payable, upon the occurrence of any of the following conditions: (a) a Change of Control (as defined therein), (b) within ninety (The Company may voluntarily prepay all or part of the Promissory Note at any time with no less than three (3) business days' notice with accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, so long as, with respect to the portion of the Loan then being prepaid, in each case, such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of amounts sufficient to achieve a rate of return that equals or exceeds 1.10 to 1.00. The same 1.10x return hurdle applied to repayment at maturity. Amounts repaid under the Promissory Note are not available to be re-borrowed.

Proceeds of the Loan under the Promissory Note were used, in part, to (i) pay transaction costs, (ii) pay transaction expenses in connection with the Note Documents (as defined therein), (iii) fund the purchase of the financed properties located on the Company's campus in Harwood, ND ("Polaris Forge 2"), including all associated closing costs, title fees, and legal expenses, (iv) finance improvements to the Polaris Forge 2 properties, (v) fund the purchase of the Transformers (as defined therein) and other equipment expected to be installed and used for the improvements of the Polaris Forge 2 properties, (v) to pay any other costs, fees, expenses, or amounts related to or in connection with the development and construction of Polaris Forge 2, and (vi) for general corporate working capital purposes.

In connection with the Loan, (i) APLD FAR-01 LLC, APLD FAR Holdings LLC ("Intermediate Holdings"), a Delaware limited liability company, as parent of the APLD FAR-01 LLC, and APLD FAR-02 LLC ("FAR-02"), a Delaware limited liability company, as a subsidiary of Intermediate Holdings, entered into a guarantee and collateral agreement, as grantors thereunder, in favor of the Lender (the "Guarantee and Collateral Agreement").

On November 28, 2025, the Company repaid the Promissory Note in full, including all outstanding and unpaid principal, accrued interest, and rate of return. As a result, the accrued interest and rate of return on the Macquarie Promissory Note of $1.4 million was capitalized to CIP commensurate with the use of proceeds associated with construction.

*2030 Senior Secured Notes* 

On November 20, 2025, APLD ComputeCo LLC ("Issuer"), a subsidiary of the Company, completed a private offering of 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes").

LLC as the representative (the "Representative") of the several initial purchasers (the "Initial Purchasers") in a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering. The aggregate principal amount of Notes sold in the offering was $2.35 billion.

The 2030 Notes were issued at a price equal to 97% of their aggregate principal amount. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the construction and associated expenses of its 100 MW and 150 MW data centers, ELN-02 and ELN-03, respectively (the "Facilities"), at the Company's 400MW Ellendale, North Dakota campus ("Polaris Forge 1"), repay the aggregate principal balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest under the SMBC Loan, fund debt service reserves, and pay transaction expenses.

The 2030 Notes will mature on December 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The principal amount of the 2030 Notes will amortize on a semi-annual basis on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2027, in amounts set forth in the Indenture. Required amortization shall be subject to adjustment in case of partial redemption or repurchase or, in certain circumstances, the issuance of additional notes.

On or after December 15, 2027, the Issuer may redeem the 2030 Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. Prior to December 15, 2027, the Issuer may redeem the 2030 Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes redeemed, plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, prior to December 15, 2027, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of the proceeds of certain equity offerings, at the redemption price set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Indenture limits the ability of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock and make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) create or incur liens; (v) consummate certain asset sales; (vi) enter into sale and lease back transactions; (vii) hold assets or conduct operations unrelated to the operation of the Facilities and certain additional projects; (viii) engage in certain transactions with its affiliates; and (ix) merge, consolidate or transfer or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions as set forth in the Indenture. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Issuer must offer to repurchase the 2030 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the purchase date. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.

The Company will provide a customary completion guarantee with respect to each Project (as defined in the Indenture) related to the Facilities, which will require the Company to provide the Issuer funds as necessary to ensure the achievement of the applicable Commencement Date (as defined in the Indenture) under the respective data center lease in the event that the proceeds of the 2030 Notes and the available funds (including previous equity contributions from the Company) are insufficient to do so.

As of February 28, 2026, remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the loan was $6.4 million.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative Assets**

*APLD HPC TopCo 2's Noncontrolling Interest*

The preferred units and corresponding common units associated with APLD HPC TopCo 2's noncontrolling interest were determined to have embedded derivative features, the Redemption features and the Contingent Dividend Rate Increase feature, requiring bifurcation and remeasurement at fair value at each reporting date, with the changes in fair value recorded through earnings. The Redemption features are inclusive of the Investor put option upon a Sale, APLD Holdings call option, and the Distribution Redemptions (all as defined within the A&R UPA). Due to these redemption rights, at each balance sheet date, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the derivatives to fair value and record any changes in fair value within earnings. The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist in determining the value of the embedded derivatives using a binomial lattice model, which includes Level 3 unobservable inputs. The key inputs used were the estimated credit spread of the associated preferred stock and corresponding common units, volatility, and risk-free rate of the derivative assets:

| Risk-free rate | USD Yield Curve | USD Yield Curve | USD Yield Curve |
| Number of time-steps | 100 | 100 | 100 |

---

As of February 28, 2026, the derivative assets were fair valued at $98.8 million. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, the Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $3.3 million for each of the periods on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026

On November 4, 2025, the Company and B&W entered into an agreement under which the Company contributed $2.0 million to B&W in exchange for 500,000 shares of B&W's common stock and a warrant to purchase 2.6 million shares of B&W's common stock with an exercise price of $4.11 (the "Initial Warrant"). Additionally, under the agreement, to incentivize the Company to execute a definitive agreement with B&W related to B&W designing and installing natural gas technology that will provide one gigawatt of efficient energy for an APLD AI data center, B&W agreed to issue an additional warrant to purchase 7,860,000 shares of common stock for $4.11 per share (the "Additional Warrant") to the Company upon execution of such a definitive agreement. During the quarter ended February 28, 2026, a definitive agreement was executed between Base Electron and B&W, with the Company as the guarantor. See Note 5 - Related Party Transactions.

The warrants were determined to be derivative assets and were required to be measured at fair value at issuance under ASC 815. They will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. To allocate the initial contribution between the common stock and the warrants, the Company determined the fair value of each and utilized the relative fair value allocation method. The B&W warrants are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, contractual term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield, which are considered Level 3 inputs. The estimated fair value of the B&W Warrants are based on the following significant inputs:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **November 4, 2025** | **February 28, 2026** |
| Time to expiry | 7 years | 6.68 years |

| Contractual term | 10 years |
| Volatility | 80% |

The estimated fair value of the MAM Warrants are based on the following significant inputs:

---

| | **MAM Warrants** |
| Contractual term | 5.5 years |
| Volatility | 95% |
| Risk-free rate | 3.76% |
| Dividend yield | —% |

---

As of February 28, 2026, total remaining expense to be recognized related to these awards was $134.4 million and the weighted average remaining recognition period for the unvested awards was 2.7 years.

*Performance Stock Units* 

Performance stock units ("PSUs") represent a right to receive a certain number of shares of common stock based on the achievement of performance goals and continued employment during the vesting period (provided that the PSUs may remain outstanding and eligible to vest following certain terminations during the vesting period). PSUs granted by the Company vest depending on the achievement of Company and individual performance financial, operational and/or market-price driven measures, which must occur on or prior to the deadline set forth in each applicable PSU aware. The fair value of PSUs, except PSUs for which vesting is based on the market price, is based on the closing price on the date of grant. The compensation expense related to these PSUs is recognized over the vesting period when the achievement of the performance conditions becomes probable. The total compensation cost for the PSUs is determined based on the most likely outcome of the performance conditions and the number of awards expected to vest.

<u>PSUs that Vest Based on Market Price</u>

On January 6, 2026, the Company granted the CEO 4.5 million PSUs with market-price based and service-based vesting conditions. The awards vest based on the achievement of certain stock price targets as well as his continued employment with the Company (except that continued employment is not required if his employment is terminated by the Company without "cause," he resigns for "good reason," he dies or incurs a "disability," or the Company elects not to renew his employment term). The total grant date fair value of the awards was determined to be $122.1 million, with each tranche of the awards representing approximately $42.7 million, $40.6 million, and $38.8 million of the total expense, respectively.

The fair value of the PSUs was calculated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value was based on the following significant inputs:

In the event of liquidation, holders are entitled to receive $25.00 per share (the "Series E Stated Value") plus any accrued but unpaid dividends before any distributions are made to common stockholders. The Series E Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and remains outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed or repurchased by the Company.

Holders may require the Company to redeem any portion of their Series E Preferred Stock at any time for a "Settlement Amount" calculated as the Series E Stated Value plus any unpaid dividends, less a Holder Optional Redemption Fee, equal to a percentage of the Series E Stated Value based on the year when the redemption occurs as follows: 9.00% prior to the first anniversary of the respective tranche closing date (the "Original Issuance Date"); 7.00% on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issuance Date; 5.00% on or after the second anniversary but

prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date: and 0.00% on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date. The Settlement Amount can be settled in cash or shares of common stock, subject to a share cap, which limits the total shares deliverable upon redemption to 19.99% of the common stock outstanding prior to the Series E Preferred Stock offering (25,475,751 shares, the "Share Cap"). Any portion of the Settlement Amount exceeding the Share Cap will be settled in cash.

The Company may also redeem shares of Series E Preferred Stock after the second anniversary of the original issuance date, with a minimum notice of 10 days, at the Company Optional Redemption Settlement Amount, which is equal to the Series E Stated Value per share plus any unpaid and accrued dividends. If the Company elects to pay the redemption amount in shares, then the number of shares to be delivered will be calculated as the Company Optional Redemption Settlement Amount divided by the closing price per share of the common stock on the date of the Company Optional Redemption exercise, subject to the Share Cap. During the nine months ended February 28, 2026, 20,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were redeemed.

*Series E-1 Redeemable Preferred Stock*

On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into a dealer manager agreement for the offering of up to 62,500 shares of Series E-1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Series E-1 Preferred Stock"), at a price per share of $1,000 (the "Series E-1 Stated Value"). During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, the Company closed on eight offerings in which the Company issued 62,500 shares for gross proceeds of $62.5 million. The Series E-1 Preferred Stock offering was completed as of May 31, 2025.

The shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock have no voting or conversion rights. Holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum of the Series E-1 Stated Value. Dividends are calculated based on a 360-day year, declared and accrued monthly, and payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds. Dividends on the shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock must be fully paid for all past periods before any distributions can be made to common stockholders or any junior series of equity securities. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, the Company declared and paid approximately $1.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively of dividends related to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock as presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations while during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025, approximately $370,000 and $418,000, respectively, of dividends were declared and paid.

The Series E-1 Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes or series of common stock and junior to all existing and future debt of the Company. Additionally, the Series E-1 Preferred Stock is on parity with the Series E Preferred Stock and any future series of preferred stock with substantially identical terms but may rank junior to any future series of preferred stock if the holders of such series are entitled to rights and preferences with priority over the holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock. In the event of liquidation, holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock and holders of shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the Series E-1 Preferred Stock, are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Series E-1 Stated Value plus an amount per share that is issuable as a result of any accrued but unpaid dividends before any distributions are made to common stockholders. The Series E-1 Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and remains outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed or repurchased by the Company.

Holders may require the Company to redeem any portion of their Series E-1 Preferred Stock at any time for a "Settlement Amount" calculated as the Series E-1 Stated Value plus any unpaid dividends, less a Holder Optional Redemption Fee equal to a percentage of the Series E-1 Stated Value based on the year when the redemption occurs as follows: 9.00% prior to the first anniversary of the respective tranche closing date (the "Original Issuance Date"); 7.00% on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issuance Date; 5.00% on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date: and 0.00% on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date. The Settlement Amount can be settled in cash or shares of common stock at the sole option of the Company, subject to a share cap (if required by Nasdaq rules and regulations), which limits the total shares deliverable upon redemption to 19.99% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock offering (25,889,470 shares, the "Share Cap"), unless approval by the Company's stockholders is obtained to exceed the Share Cap. Any portion of the Settlement Amount exceeding this cap will be settled in cash. Holders may not redeem any shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock for common stock prior to the first anniversary of the Original Issuance Date.

The Company may also redeem shares of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock after the second anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, with a minimum notice of 10 days, at a redemption price equal to the Series E-1 Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. If the Company elects to pay the redemption amount in shares, then the number of shares to be delivered will be calculated as the Settlement Amount divided by the closing price per share of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date upon which notice was provided to the holder, subject to the Share Cap, if applicable. During the nine months ended February 28, 2026, 296 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock were redeemed.

*Series G Convertible Preferred Stock*

On April 30, 2025, the Company entered into the Preferred Equity Purchase Agreement (the "PEPA") with certain investors for the issuance and sale of up to 156,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series G Preferred Stock") in a transaction (the "Private Placement") pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The shares of the Series G Preferred Stock may be put to the investors from time to time at the Company's discretion during the period commencing on April 30, 2025 (the "Commitment Date") and terminating on the earlier of (i) the 36-month anniversary of the Commitment Date or (ii) such date as there ceases to be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock remaining under the Exchange Cap (as defined in the PEPA).

The Series G Preferred Stock became convertible on June 3, 2025, the Registration Effective Date (as defined in the PEPA). Pursuant to the PEPA, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock, on June 3, 2025, as amended the post-effective amendment filed with the SEC on September 23, 2025, each of which was automatically effective upon filing. Conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock is subject to a customary 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, as well as a 19.99% conversion limitation pursuant to the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules (the "Exchange Cap").

The Series G Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes of common stock and junior to all existing and future debt of the Company. Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Series G Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive distributions out of the assets of the Company in an amount per share equal to the then-current Series G Preferred Stock stated value, whether capital or surplus, before any distributions are made on any shares of our common stock. The Series G Preferred Stock is on parity with the Series E Preferred Stock, Series E-1 Preferred Stock and any future series of preferred stock with substantially identical terms.

Holders have the right to require the Company to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock under certain conditions, such as a Trading Failure, as defined in the Series G Preferred Stock certificate of designation. If there is a Trading Failure, the redemption price is the greater of the Series G Preferred Stock stated value or the product of the lowest conversion price during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the Trading Failure and ending on the date the holder delivers a Redemption Notice, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock is convertible at the then-effective conversion price.

If any Investor is prevented from converting any portion of its Series G Preferred Stock because of the Exchange Cap, and such limitation continues for 18 months following the date that is 18 months following the issuance of such Series G Preferred Stock, or, if earlier, the date that is 36 months following the Commitment Date, then the portion of the Series G Preferred Stock held by such Investor at such time shall be redeemed by the Company, within 10 trading days after such earlier date, at a price equal to 110% of the stated value of such Series G Preferred Stock.

On each conversion date, the conversion price for the Series G Preferred Stock being converted (the "Conversion Price") will equal the greater of (i) 95% of the lowest daily Volume Weighted Average Price for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) the initial floor price of $4.25, which may be reduced by the Company at any time in its sole discretion, but in no event below $1.34 (as may be adjusted from time to time, the "Floor Price"). Based on its initial stated value of $1,000 per share and the $4.25 initial Floor Price, each share of Series G Preferred Stock would be convertible into an aggregate of 236 shares of common stock. No right of conversion may be exercised by the Investors in excess of $30 million of stated value, in the aggregate, per month, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Company and the holders holding a majority of the voting power of the Series G Preferred Stock outstanding at the time.

**Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest**

*APLD HPC TopCo 2 LLC* 

As discussed within *Note 9 - Variable Interest Entity* above, APLD HPC TopCo 2 LLC ("TopCo 2") completed three closings under its A&R UPA as of February 28, 2026, issuing 900,000 preferred units and 102,778 corresponding common units for $900.0 million to MIP HPC Holdings, LLC, which resulted in a redeemable noncontrolling interest.

The preferred units accrue dividends at a rate of 12.75% per annum, which accrue daily and compound semi-annually, and which, if not redeemed by then, will increase by 87.5 basis points on each of October 7, 2030 and October 7, 2031, and by 200 basis points on October 7, 2035 and each one-year anniversary thereof, up to a maximum rate of 16.75%. The dividend rate will be further increased (i) by the amount that the weighted average all-in annual interest rate on certain indebtedness exceeds 8.75% per annum for so long as such indebtedness is outstanding and (ii) for so long as certain significant events of default or other "trigger events" under the A&R LLCA remain uncured, by 200 basis points per annum. Subject to limited exceptions, the dividends are payable (i) from the initial closing through October 6, 2035, at TopCo 2's election, either in cash or in kind, and (ii) after October 6, 2035, in cash only.

Additionally, the preferred units carry a minimum 1.80x multiple of invested capital liquidation preference, inclusive of the value of the common units; provided, that (x) in connection with an initial public offering or a drag-along sale in which the sellers receive highly liquid securities, the minimum multiple of invested capital increases to 2.00x and (y) with respect to any additional equity contributions with respect to the Polaris Forge 1 (other than pursuant to the additional closings under the A&R UPA), the then applicable minimum multiple of invested capital will be reduced by an amount that reflects the time between when MIP HPC Holdings, LLC first committed to make the investment and when the actual contribution is made, calculated as interest at a fixed annual rate of 12.75%, accruing daily, on the amount of such additional equity contribution for such period.

The preferred units and the common units are redeemable after April 6, 2028, in exchange for: (i) from April 6, 2028 up to October 6, 2029, the sum of (x) the applicable minimum multiple of invested capital, plus (y) 120% of the fair market value of such common unit(s); (ii) from October 6, 2029 up to October 6, 2030, the sum of (x) the applicable minimum multiple of invested capital, plus (y) 112.5% of the fair market value of such common unit(s); and (iii) from and after October 6, 2030, the greater of (x) the accreted amount, plus any accrued and unpaid dividend, plus the fair market value of such common units, plus certain indemnity payments by TopCo 2 for breaches of business representations of the TopCo 2 under the A&R UPA, if any, and (y) the applicable multiple of invested capital minus certain indemnity payments by the Company for breaches of fundamental representations of the Company under the A&R UPA (such greater amount, the "Liquidation Preference Amount").

If the preferred units and common units are outstanding on October 6, 2032, or if certain trigger events occurs and are not cured within specified time periods, MIP HPC Holdings, LLC may require TopCo 2 to commence a customary marketed sale process managed by an independent investment bank, where the proceeds of any such sale are to be used to redeem the preferred units and the common units on the terms set forth above.

Distributions of available excess cash will be made in accordance with a multi-tiered waterfall, generally as follows: (i) first, to MIP HPC Holdings, LLC, to pay certain specified losses under the A&R UPA, if any; (ii) second, to MIP HPC Holdings, LLC, to pay any accrued but unpaid dividends on its preferred units; (iii) third, to the MIP HPC Holdings, LLC, until it has received its Liquidation Preference Amount; and (iv) fourth, to the holders of common units, pro rata in accordance with the number of common units held by them.

The preferred units and corresponding common units were determined to have embedded derivative features, the Redemption features and the Contingent Dividend Rate Increase feature, requiring bifurcation and remeasurement at fair value at each reporting date, with the changes in fair value recorded through earnings. The Redemption features are inclusive of the Investor put option upon a Sale, APLD Holdings call option, and the Distribution Redemptions (all as defined within the A&R UPA). The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist in determining the value of the

For the Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026

embedded derivatives using a binomial lattice model, which includes Level 3 unobservable inputs. See Note 8 - Derivative Assets for further details. As the noncontrolling interest has embedded features that require bifurcation, the fair value at issuance was allocated between the components. As such, the net proceeds were first allocated to the derivatives at their fair value. The remainder of the proceeds were then allocated to the warrants and noncontrolling interests based on their relative fair values.

The balance sheets and operating activities of TopCo 2 are included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adjusts net income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations to exclude the proportionate share of results that is attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Additionally, the Company presents the proportionate share that is attributable to the noncontrolling interest as temporary equity within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. This temporary equity presentation is the result of the noncontrolling interest being subject to certain redemption rights that are not entirely within the Company's control. Due to these redemption rights, at each balance sheet date, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the derivatives to fair value and record any changes in fair value within earnings. The Company will adjust noncontrolling interest for the attribution of net income (loss) and preferred dividends of TopCo 2 to the noncontrolling interest holder.

Net loss attributable to MIP HPC Holdings, LLC was $28.7 million and $31.9 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, respectively. The proportionate share of net income was accounted for as a reduction in deriving net income attributable to common stock in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was $923.1 million as of February 28, 2026. There was no noncontrolling interest at May 31, 2025. The change in noncontrolling interest consists of $891.0 million of contributions from noncontrolling interest, net of costs, $32.0 million of preferred stock dividends paid in-kind, and $0.1 million in current year net income attributable to non-controlling interest.

**15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commitments and Contingencies**

**Commitments**

*Energy Contracts*

As of February 28, 2026, the Company had a minimum commitment of approximately $26.2 million related to the energy services agreement for its Jamestown, North Dakota co-hosting facility payable over, approximately, the next 0.9 years.

*Construction Contracts*

The Company routinely engages with construction vendors for the construction of our facilities. These engagements are governed by contracts containing standard terms and conditions, including certain milestones that obligate the Company to pay as work is completed. In the event of termination of any of these contracts by the Company, the Company would be liable for all work that has been completed or in process, plus any applicable fees. The Company generally has the right to cancel these open purchase orders prior to delivery or terminate the contracts without cause.

*<u>B&W Guarantee</u>*

The Company is party to a Guarantee (the "Guarantee") in favor of The Babcock & Wilcox Company ("B&W"), pursuant to which it has agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full and timely performance by Base Electron, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Base Electron"), of its obligations under a Design-Build Agreement, dated February 26, 2026, by and between Base Electron and B&W (the "Design-Build Agreement"). The Design-Build Agreement contemplates the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a power generation facility with an expected nameplate capacity of approximately 1.2 GW anticipated to expand power and capacity supplied to the grid and utility customers in the MISO region.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026

The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Guarantee and all of its existing and future obligations thereunder upon the occurrence of any one of the following events, (i) the listing of Base Electron's equity securities on a national securities exchange, (ii) the consummation by Base Electron of a financing transaction resulting in gross proceeds of at least $50 million (provided that Base Electron is current in its payments to B&W), or (iii) the payment by the Company of a termination fee equal to either $50 million (if paid by August 1, 2026 and Base Electron is current in its payments to B&W) or $100 million. As of February 28, 2026, no liability has been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as the Company has determined that the likelihood of Base Electron failing to perform or the Company terminating the Guarantee is not probable.

**Claims and Litigation**

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the ordinary course of business.

*Securities Lawsuit*

The Company, Wes Cummins, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and David Rench, the Company's then Chief Financial Officer, have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action lawsuit in the matter styled, McConnell v. Applied Digital Corporation, et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-1805, filed in August 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Securities Lawsuit"). Specifically, the complaint asserts claims pursuant to Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements regarding the company's business, operations, and compliance policies, including claims that the Company overstated the profitability of its Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Company's board of directors was not "independent" within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On May 22, 2024, the court appointed lead plaintiff and approved lead counsel, and on July 22, 2024, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint which asserts the same claims based on similar allegations in the original complaint. On September 20, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On November 19, 2024, lead plaintiff filed his opposition to the Motion to Dismiss. On January 3, 2025, the defendants filed their reply in further support of the Motion to Dismiss. On September 8, 2025, the Court issued an order staying the Securities Lawsuit and administratively closing it pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss.

The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in the Securities Lawsuit. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company's results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.

*Derivative Lawsuit*

On November 15, 2023, a derivative action was filed in the matter styled, Weich v. Cummins, et al., Case No. A-23-881629-C in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the "Derivative Lawsuit"). The Weich complaint named as defendants certain members of the Company's Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer Wesley Cummins and purports to name the Company's then Chief Financial Officer David Rench as a defendant. The complaint asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste and unjust enrichment based upon allegations that the defendants caused or allowed the Company to make materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Company overstated the profitability of the Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Board was not "independent" within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On February 27, 2024, the derivative plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting the same claims as the original complaint.

On June 5, 2024, following briefing and argument on the defendants' motion to dismiss the Derivative Lawsuit, the Court entered an order granting the defendants' motion without prejudice and dismissing all claims against all defendants, including the Company, on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to plead (1) demand futility as to each of plaintiff's claims or (2) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The order dismissed all claims against all defendants, including the Company. The plaintiff can seek leave to file an amended complaint but to date has not done so.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026

The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in this action. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company's results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.

As of February 28, 2026, there were no other pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company's consolidated operations. There are also no legal proceedings in which any of the Company's management or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company's interest.

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business Segments**

The Company's business is made up of three operating segments: the Data Center Hosting Business, Cloud Services Business, and the HPC Hosting Business. These segments represent management's view of the business for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

The Company's CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions primarily based on revenue and segment profit (loss) on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company's reportable segments. Operating results by segment include costs or expenses directly attributable to each segment, which include selling, general, and administrative expenses, gain on classification of held for sale and loss on abandonment of assets. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Segment revenues and segment profit are regularly reviewed by the CODM and compared against historical results, forecast and budget information in order to make decisions about how to allocate capital and other resources to each segment.

The Company does not allocate interest (income) expense, net, gain on change in fair value of derivatives, gain on change in fair value of investment, loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in fair value of debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on change in fair value of warrants or income tax expense to these segments for internal reporting purposes, as the Company does not believe that allocating these expenses is beneficial in evaluating segment performance. The "Other" includes corporate related items not allocated to reportable segments for purposes of making operating decisions or assessing financial performance.

The following tables present segment information, including revenue by segment and segment profit (loss) for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 (in thousands):

**17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Loss Per Share**

Basic net income (loss) per share ("EPS") of common stock is computed by dividing a company's net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The table below shows the calculation for earnings per share:

As of February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025, the Company had approximately 23.5 million and 10.9 million shares, respectively, of granted but unvested restricted stock awards, performance stock units, and restricted stock units that would have a potentially dilutive effect on earnings per share.

As of February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025, the Company had approximately 2.5 million and 5.9 million shares, respectively, associated with the Company's preferred stock which have been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because the effect of those shares would be antidilutive. Additionally, the Company had approximately 28.1 million and 4.0 million warrants outstanding as of February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025, respectively, which have been excluded from the calculations of earnings per share because the effect of those shares would be antidilutive. Lastly, if the Company's Convertible Notes were converted into shares of the Company's common stock as of February 28, 2026, approximately 46.1 million shares were excluded from the calculations of earnings per share because the effect of those shares would be antidilutive.

**18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent Events**

*2031 Senior Secured Notes* 

On March 10, 2026, our subsidiary APLD ComputeCo 2 LLC, closed a $2.15 billion offering (the "2031 Notes Offering") of 6.750% senior secured notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes") at an issue price of 98.000%. The 2031 Notes were issued and sold in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2031 Notes are senior secured obligations of APLD ComputeCo 2 LLC and bear interest at a rate of 6.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2026. The principal amount of the 2031 Notes will amortize on a semi-annual basis on March 15 and September 15 of each year, in amounts set forth in the Indenture. The 2031 Notes will mature on March 15, 2031, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2031 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of APLD ComputeCo 2. The Company provided a customary completion guarantee for the 2031 Notes Offering. The gross proceeds from the 2031 Notes Offering were deposited into a segregated escrow account pending the execution of an electric service agreement with certain providers on the terms and conditions of a related escrow agreement. Once the escrow release condition thereunder is satisfied, the escrowed funds will be released into the project accounts to fund the development and construction of the facilities. If the escrow release condition is not satisfied on or prior to June 30, 2026, or is deemed incapable of being satisfied by such date, the 2031 Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

*B&W Warrants*

On November 4, 2025, the Company and Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises ("BWE") entered into an agreement under which the Company contributed $2.0 million to BWE in exchange for 500,000 shares of BWE's common stock and warrants to purchase 2,600,000 shares of BWE's common stock with an exercise price of $4.11 (the "Initial Warrants"). Additionally, under the agreement, to incentivize the Company to execute a definitive agreement with B&W related to B&W designing and installing natural gas technology that will provide one gigawatt of efficient energy for an APLD AI data center, BWE agreed to issue additional warrants to purchase 7,860,000 shares of common stock for $4.11 per share (the "Additional Warrants") to the Company upon execution of such a definitive agreement between B&W and the Company. As described in *Note 5 - Related Party Transactions* and *Note 8 - Derivative Assets*, on February 26, 2026 a definitive agreement was executed between Base Electron and B&W, with the Company as the guarantor. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, by and among the Company, Base Electron, BWE and B&W, pursuant to which the Company partially assigned its rights with respect to the Additional Warrants (such partial assignment representing the right to purchase up to 5,230,000 shares of BWE common stock) to Base Electron. The warrants were assigned by the Company to Base Electron in connection with Base Electron's entry into a Design-Build Agreement with B&W. On March 18, 2026, the Company received the remaining Additional Warrants (representing the right to purchase up to 2,630,000 shares of BWE common stock). Base Electron is an independent power producer owned and managed by a combination of third parties, as well as certain officers and directors of the Company acting in their individual capacities, for the purpose of developing stabilized power generation and infrastructure to support the broader AI industry.

*CoreWeave Restructuring Agreements*

On March 30, 2026, the Company and CoreWeave amended the lease for Building 2 (the "ELN-02 Parent Lease") to suspend the term for two of the four data halls covered by the lease (the "ELN-02 Parent Lease Amendment") and the Company entered into a new data center lease with CoreWeave Compute Acquisition Co. VIII, LLC ("CoreWeave SPV"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CoreWeave, for those same two data halls on substantially the same terms as the ELN-02 Parent Lease (the "ELN-02 SPV Lease"). The ELN-02 SPV Lease is conterminous with the initial term of the ELN-02

Parent Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the ELN-02 SPV Lease, the suspended term under the ELN-02 Parent Lease will resume and all four data halls of Building 2 will once again be governed by the ELN-02 Parent Lease.

As further credit enhancement, CoreWeave delivered to APLD ELN-02 LLC an Unconditional Springing Guaranty of Payment and Performance (the "ELN-02 Guaranty") in connection with CoreWeave SPV's obligations under the ELN-02 SPV Lease.

CoreWeave is obligated to provide a letter of credit in the amount of $50,000,000 to secure obligations under the ELN-02 Parent Lease within 30 days of March 30, 2026.

In addition, on March 30, 2026, CoreWeave entered into an Assignment, Assumption and Consent Agreement with CoreWeave SPV and APLD ELN-03 LLC (the "Assignment Agreement"), assigning all of CoreWeave's rights and obligations under its lease with the Company for Building 3 (the "ELN-03 Parent Lease") to CoreWeave SPV for the remaining term of the ELN-03 Parent Lease and releasing CoreWeave from the ELN-03 Parent Lease. In addition, CoreWeave also provided an Unconditional Springing Guaranty of Payment and Performance in connection with CoreWeave SPV's obligations under the ELN-03 Parent Lease (the "ELN-03 Guaranty"), similar to the ELN-02 Guaranty.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

***Forward-Looking Statements***

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as "will," "may," "can," "anticipate," "assume," "should," "indicate," "would," "believe," "contemplate," "expect," "seek," "estimate," "continue," "plan," "point to," "project," "predict," "could," "intend," "target," "potential" and other similar words and expressions of the future. Statements that contain these words and other statements that are forward-looking in nature should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or of financial positions, or state other "forward-looking" information.

These statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions, which are based on currently available information.

***Executive Overview***

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

***Business Overview***

We are a U.S. designer, developer, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence ("AI"), networking, and blockchain workloads. Headquartered in Dallas, TX, and founded in 2021, the Company combines hyperscale expertise, proprietary waterless cooling, and rapid deployment capabilities to deliver secure, scalable compute at industry-leading speed and efficiency, while creating economic opportunities in underserved communities through its award-winning Polaris Forge AI Factory model. We operate in three distinct business segments, data center hosting (the "Data Center Hosting Business"), cloud services (the "Cloud Services Business") and HPC data center hosting (the "HPC Hosting Business"), all of which are included in our consolidated financial statements and continuing operations, as further discussed below. Management considers the Data Center Hosting Business and the HPC Hosting Business to be its core operations for long-run strategic and performance evaluation purposes.

The Company consolidates a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity's operation in accordance with ASC Topic 810, *Consolidations*. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of the entity and the risks the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in the VIE.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we determined that the Cloud Services Business, which operates primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, met the criteria to be classified as "held for sale." As a sale would represent a strategic shift for the Company the Cloud Services Business was classified as discontinued operations.

On December 30, 2025, the Company announced it had entered into a non-binding term sheet for a proposed business combination of the Cloud Services Business with EKSO Bionics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EKSO) ("EKSO"), which, once closed, will go forward as ChronoScale Corporation ("ChronoScale"), an accelerated compute platform purpose-built to support AI workloads (the "Proposed Transaction").

On February 15, 2026, APLD Intermediate HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("APLD Intermediate"), APLD ChronoScale HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of APLD Intermediate ("Contributor"), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, which at the time of the closing of the Proposed Transaction, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Contributor, entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement with EKSO (the "Contribution and Exchange Agreement") for purposes of consummating the Proposed Transaction (the "Business Combination"), as a result of which (i) Applied Digital Cloud Corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ekso, (ii) Ekso will, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, continue as the parent of the combined company, and (iii) Ekso will change its name to ChronoScale.

During the quarter ended February 28, 2026, we determined that the Cloud Services Business, which had previously been classified and reported as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10 and discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations due to the Company entering into the Contribution and Exchange Agreement.

We have restated our comparative financial statements for prior periods to reflect this change in classification. The statements of operations, cash flows, and segment information for prior periods have been adjusted to include the results of the Cloud Services Business within continuing operations rather than within discontinued operations, and previously classified assets and liabilities of the Cloud Services Business are presented within the respective held-and-used asset and liability line items as of each balance sheet date.

Revenues, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), total assets and liabilities, and cash flows previously reported as related to discontinued operations and asset and liabilities held for sale of the Cloud Services Business are now

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i66d95ea2682f4f00828366600deee8fd_7)</u>

reported in the corresponding line items within continuing operations and held-and-used asset and liability categories for all periods presented. There was no material impact on our previously reported net income, total assets, or equity as a result of this reclassification.

The reclassification was necessary because the Cloud Services Business no longer met the requirements for held for sale presentation and discontinued operations presentation as set forth in ASC 360-10 and ASC 205-20, respectively, as the planned sale did not occur and the segment remains part of the Company's ongoing operations as of February 28, 2026.

Management has further determined that the operating characteristics and strategic role of the Cloud Services Business differ meaningfully from the Company's long-run core operations of building and developing data center infrastructure. As a result, while the segment continues to be actively managed and reported as part of consolidated results and continuing operations, management evaluates long-term operating performance and core business trends using financial measures that exclude the results of this segment, as discussed below.

***Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business***

*Regulatory Environment*

The regulatory landscape surrounding AI and blockchain hosting services is evolving rapidly, and we anticipate increased scrutiny and potential regulation in the near and long term. Any such developments may significantly impact our business and operations in ways that are difficult to predict.

Governments and regulatory bodies are considering measures to ensure the responsible development and deployment of AI systems, including transparency, accountability, and fairness guidelines. For example, in the U.S Senate, committees of jurisdiction have passed several AI bills that establish industry standards and impose significant obligations in relation to the use of AI systems. On the state level, several U.S. states have considered AI legislation, which aims to reduce risk associated with the use of AI; while certain states have passed comprehensive AI legislation. On September 29, 2025, California passed the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act into law, which requires certain AI companies to fulfill transparency requirements and report AI-related safety incidents, among other things. In Europe, the EU AI Act has been adopted, portions of which have started to take effect this year.

The amount of energy used for AI and crypto mining has also received significant attention. For example, in January 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration conducted an emergency survey of electricity consumption data from cryptocurrency mining companies in the U.S. This indicates that more focus is being placed on the energy usage of these activities. It is unclear how the information collected will be used for future regulations, but it is expected that energy efficiency and sustainability will be critical factors regulating both AI data centers and cryptocurrency mining.

As a company operating at the intersection of data center and HPC hosting services, we are committed to maintaining a proactive and adaptive approach to regulatory compliance. We closely monitor legislative and regulatory developments and engage in dialogue with relevant stakeholders to ensure our business practices align with the evolving legal and regulatory framework. Despite the uncertainties posed by the changing regulatory landscape, we remain committed to delivering innovative and responsible solutions in the data center and HPC hosting markets while prioritizing compliance and risk management. However, if we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we may be subject to significant liabilities, including fines and penalties, and our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be adversely affected.

***Critical Accounting Estimates***

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Our critical accounting estimates are identified and described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

**<u>Fair Value Measurements - Derivative Assets</u>**

In connection with the issuance of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, we evaluated the instrument for any features that must be bifurcated and separately accounted for as embedded derivatives. We determined that the Redemption features and Contingent Dividend Rate Increase feature met all the requirements to be separately accounted for as bifurcated derivatives. The bifurcated derivatives are remeasured to fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. We utilized third party valuation specialists to estimate the fair value of the derivative assets using a binomial lattice model. Inherent in a binomial lattice model are unobservable inputs and assumptions. The inputs for the valuation of the derivative assets included the volatility, credit spread, and term. As the noncontrolling interest has embedded features that require bifurcation, the fair value at issuance was allocated between the components. As such, the net proceeds were first allocated to the derivatives at their fair value. The remainder of the proceeds were then allocated to the warrants and noncontrolling interests based on their relative fair values.

***Business Update***

*<u>Data Center Hosting Business</u>*

Our Data Center Hosting Business provides energized infrastructure services to crypto mining customers. Our custom-designed data centers allow customers to rent space based on their power requirements.

As of February 28, 2026, our 106 MW facility in Jamestown, North Dakota and our 180 MW facility in Ellendale, North Dakota continue to operate at full capacity.

We recognized $37.5 million and $117.1 million, in revenue from this business segment during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, respectively.

*<u>Cloud Services Business</u>*

Our Cloud Services Business provides high-performance computing power for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. We recognized revenue of $18.1 million and $53.2 million from this business segment during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, respectively. We currently operate our Cloud Services Business in three states: Colorado, Minnesota, and Utah, by renting space at third party colocation centers and providing our customers with Company-owned equipment to generate revenue. As of February 28, 2026, this business segment had one customer and generated 14% of total revenue for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2026.

As previously disclosed, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we determined that the Cloud Services Business, which operates primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, met the criteria to be classified as "held for sale." As a sale would represent a strategic shift for the Company the Cloud Services Business was classified as discontinued operations. On December 30, 2025, the Company announced it had entered into a non-binding term sheet for a proposed business combination of the Cloud Services Business with EKSO Bionics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EKSO) ("EKSO"), which, once closed, will go forward as ChronoScale Corporation ("ChronoScale"), an accelerated compute platform purpose-built to support AI workloads (the "Proposed Transaction").

On February 15, 2026, APLD Intermediate HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("APLD Intermediate"), APLD ChronoScale HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of APLD Intermediate ("Contributor"), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, which at the time of the closing of the Proposed Transaction, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Contributor, entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement with EKSO (the "Contribution and Exchange Agreement") for purposes of consummating the Proposed Transaction (the "Business Combination"), as a result of which (i) Applied Digital Cloud Corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ekso, (ii) Ekso will, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, continue as the parent of the combined company, and (iii) Ekso will change its name to ChronoScale.

During the quarter ended February 28, 2026, we determined that the Cloud Services Business, which had previously been classified and reported as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10 and discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations due to the Company entering into the Contribution and Exchange Agreement.

As a result, effective February 15, 2026, the assets and liabilities of the Cloud Services Business have been reclassified from held for sale to held and used in their respective financial statement lines on our unaudited condensed consolidated

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i66d95ea2682f4f00828366600deee8fd_7)</u>

balance sheets for all periods presented. Similarly, the results of the Cloud Services Business have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

In connection with this change in classification, the long-lived assets of the Cloud Services Business were remeasured in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-44 at the lower of (i) their carrying amounts immediately before classification as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation and amortization that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used, and (ii) their fair values at the date we determined that the held-for-sale criteria were no longer met. Management determined that as of February 15, 2026, when the Cloud Services Business no longer met the criteria for held for sale and discontinued operations, the carrying value of the long-lived assets of the Cloud Business was less than the fair value. As such, we recorded a loss on classification of held for sale on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of $59.7 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026 representing the write down of the Cloud Services Business assets to their carrying value as of February 15, 2026 when it no longer qualified as held for sale.

Following the reclassification of the Cloud Services Business into our consolidated and continuing operations results, Management has determined that the segment's operating characteristics and strategic role differ meaningfully from those of the Company's core operations. As a result, Management evaluates long-term performance and core business trends using non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the results of this segment, and the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein exclude the Cloud Services Business.

*<u>HPC Hosting Business</u>*

Our HPC Hosting Business designs, constructs, and operates next-generation data centers, which are designed to provide massive computing power and support HPC applications within a cost-effective model.

We recently commenced operations at our first HPC data center at our Polaris Forge 1 campus with 100MW of capacity. We continue building our second HPC data center at Polaris Forge 1 to provide an additional 150MW of capacity. These facilities are being designed and purpose-built to host high-density graphics processing unit architecture or other HPC applications, such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning, and additional HPC developments. Our third HPC focused data center facility at Polaris Forge 1, which is expected to provide an additional 150MW of capacity, is currently under construction, with an anticipated ready for service date in 2027.

On May 28, 2025, APLD ELN-02 LLC and APLD ELN-03 LLC, our subsidiaries, each entered into a data center lease (together, the "Data Center Leases") with CoreWeave, Inc. ("CoreWeave") to deliver an aggregate of 250 MW of infrastructure to host CoreWeave's HPC operations at Polaris Forge 1. The first lease is for the full capacity of our 100 MW data center that was completed and became operational in October 2025, and the second lease is for the full capacity of our 150 MW data center that is also under construction. We have guaranteed the obligations of APLD ELN-02 LLC and APLD ELN-03 LLC under the respective Data Center Lease to which such subsidiary is a party.

On August 28, 2025, APLD ELN-02 C LLC, our subsidiary, entered into a third data center lease, the ("Building 4 Lease") with CoreWeave to deliver an additional 150 MW at Polaris Forge 1, bringing the total capacity under contract at Polaris Forge 1 to 400 MW. We have guaranteed the obligations of APLD ELN-02 C LLC under the Building 4 Lease.

On August 18, 2025, we also announced that we would be breaking ground on our Polaris Forge 2 campus with an initial 200 MW data center near Harwood, North Dakota. The project has begun and we currently anticipate reaching initial capacity in 2026 and reaching full capacity in early 2027. On October 22, 2025, we announced that we entered into an approximately 15-year lease agreement with a U.S. based investment grade hyperscaler for 200 MW of critical IT load at our Polaris Forge 2 campus.

On January 22, 2026 we announced that we broke ground on Delta Forge 1, a 300 MW critical IT load campus located in a strategic southern U.S. market.

We recognized $71.0 million and $182.3 million, in revenue from this business segment during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, respectively.

*<u>Management Update</u>*

On January 15, 2026, the Company appointed Jason Zhang, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, to serve as the Company's co-founder and President.

*<u>Organizational Update</u>*

In part to facilitate the 2030 Notes Offering (as defined below), we completed a targeted reorganization of the entities and assets related to the Polaris Forge 1 campus. This reorganization included a series of steps such as renaming certain existing entities and forming new direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of APLD HPC Holdings LLC and APLD HPC Holdings 2 LLC, including APLD ComputeCo LLC, the issuer of the Notes ("APLD ComputeCo LLC"), and additional internal transactions, including equity distributions and contributions and asset transfers, resulting in APLD ELN-02 LLC, APLD ELN-03 LLC, ELN-02 and ELN-03 being owned by APLD ComputeCo. APLD ComputeCo is wholly owned by a joint venture entity, APLD HPC TopCo 2, in which we own 90.0% of fully diluted common equity, and an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within MAM owns 10.0% of fully diluted common equity, as well as preferred equity.

In order to facilitate the 2031 Notes Offering (as defined below), we also completed a targeted reorganization of the entities and assets related to the Polaris Forge 2 campus consistent with the reorganizations completed in connecting with the 2030 Notes Offering. This reorganization includes a series of steps such as renaming certain existing entities and forming new direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of APLD FAR Holdings LLC, including APLD ComputeCo 2 LLC ("APLD ComputeCo 2"), the issuer of the 2031 Notes, and additional internal transactions, including equity distributions and contributions and asset transfers. Under the resulting structure, APLD FAR-01 LLC and APLD FAR-02 LLC are owned by APLD ComputeCo 2. APLD ComputeCo 2 is wholly owned by a joint venture entity, APLD HPC TopCo 2, in which we own 90.0% of fully diluted common equity, and an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within MAM owns 10.0% of fully diluted common equity, as well as preferred equity.

us and the Lender, additional loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25 million (the "Additional Loans" and together with the Initial Loan, the "Loan").

The Loan shall bear interest at 8.0% per annum, unless an Event of Default (as defined therein) has occurred and is continuing, in which case, the Secured Obligations (as defined therein) shall bear interest at the sum of 8.0% per annum plus an additional 1.50% per month (the "Post-Default Rate"). From the Closing Date until the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date (the "PIK Period"), accrued interest will be paid in kind, with such payment in kind being capitalized to principal monthly and at such other times as may be specified in the Promissory Note. After the PIK Period, accrued interest will be paid in cash, provided that (i) the Post-Default Rate interest is payable in cash on demand and (ii) accrued interest on any principal amount repaid or prepaid is payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. The Promissory Note matures on the earliest of (i) the date of acceleration of the Loan, (ii) February 1, 2026, if the 200 MW Lease Execution (as defined therein) has not occurred on or before October 31, 2025, or (iii) September 9, 2027.

We may voluntarily prepay all or part of the Promissory Note at any time with no less than three (3) business days' notice with accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, so long as, with respect to the portion of the Loan then being prepaid, in each case, such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of amounts sufficient to achieve a rate of return that equals or exceeds 1.10 to 1.00. The same 1.10x return hurdle applies to repayment at maturity. Amounts repaid under the Promissory Note will not be available to be re-borrowed.

Proceeds of the Loan under the Promissory Note will be used, in part, to (i) pay transaction costs, (ii) pay transaction expenses in connection with the Note Documents (as defined therein), (iii) fund the purchase of the financed properties located on the Company's campus in Harwood, ND ("Polaris Forge 2"), including all associated closing costs, title fees, and legal expenses, (iv) finance improvements to the Polaris Forge 2 properties, (v) fund the purchase of the Transformers (as defined therein) and other equipment expected to be installed and used for the improvements of the Polaris Forge 2 properties, (v) to pay any other costs, fees, expenses, or amounts related to or in connection with the development and construction of Polaris Forge 2, and (vi) for general corporate working capital purposes.

VIII, LLC ("CoreWeave SPV"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CoreWeave, for those same two data halls on substantially the same terms as the ELN-02 Parent Lease (the "ELN-02 SPV Lease"). The ELN-02 SPV Lease is conterminous with the initial term of the ELN-02 Parent Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the ELN-02 SPV Lease, the suspended term under the ELN-02 Parent Lease will resume and all four data halls of Building 2 will once again be governed by the ELN-02 Parent Lease.

***Commentary on Results of Operations Comparative Results for the Three Months Ended February 28, 2026 compared to the Three Months Ended February 28, 2025***

<u>Revenue</u>

Revenue increased $73.7 million, or 139%, from $52.9 million for the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $126.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026. Approximately $71.0 million of the increase was due to revenue generated related to our HPC Hosting Business, with approximately $44.1 million related to base rent, $18.9 million related to tenant fit-out services and $8.1 million related to power pass through arrangements and other ancillary revenue streams as our first HPC data center at our Polaris Forge 1 campus was fully operating during the current quarter. The remaining increase in revenue was due to performance improvements in our other segments during the three months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2025.

<u>Cost of revenues</u>

Cost of revenues increased $23.7 million, or 48%, from $49.1 million for the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $72.8 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026. The increase in cost of revenues was categorized as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $18.0 million increase in expenses associated with tenant fit-out services for our HPC Hosting Business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $4.8 million increase in personnel expenses due to the increases in headcount as well as other related costs directly supporting revenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $4.1 million increase in energy costs associated with our Data Center Hosting Business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $2.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense due to an increase in owned and leased assets in-service directly supporting revenue.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.2 million in lease and lease related expenses due to the renegotiations of certain of our leases during fiscal year 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $39.3 million increase in stock based compensation primarily due to an increase in shares awarded related to the increase in headcount and performance stock awards granted during the three months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $8.6 million increase in professional service expense primarily related to legal services provided on discrete transactions and projects, as well as general support of the business;

<u>Loss on classification as held for sale</u> 

Loss on classification of held for sale was $59.7 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026, due to the write down of the Cloud Services Business assets to their carrying value as of February 15, 2026 when it no longer qualified as held for sale. See further discussion above. There was no such loss recorded in the prior year comparative period.

The change was due to an increase of $19.3 million in interest income due to an increase in funds held in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and a decrease of $3.0 million in finance lease interest associated with the renegotiation of the majority of our finance leases during the three months ended February 28, 2026. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $9.9 million in loan interest expense and $1.1 million in issuance costs amortization as we entered into more debt arrangements during the three months ended February 28, 2026.

<u>Gain on change in fair value of derivatives</u>

Gain on the change in fair value of derivatives was $9.4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026, due an increase of $6.1 million in the fair value of our Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc.

approximately $118.2 million related to tenant fit-out services, $55.7 million related to base rent and $8.4 million related to power pass through arrangements and other ancillary revenue streams as our first HPC data center at our Polaris Forge 1 campus became fully operational during the current fiscal year. Additionally, there was an increase of $12.8 million in revenue generated by our Data Center Hosting Business due to performance improvements compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025. These increases were offset by a decrease of $18.1 million in revenue from our Cloud Services Business during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 due to a decrease in the fixed rate per GPU compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025.

<u>Cost of revenues</u>

Cost of revenues increased by $72.8 million, or 45%, from $162.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to $235.4 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by the growth in the business as more facilities were energized and more services were provided to customers compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025. The increase in cost of revenues was categorized as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $112.5 million increase in expenses associated with tenant fit-out services for our HPC Hosting Business which we began providing during the current fiscal year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $14.3 million increase in energy costs associated with our Data Center Hosting Business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $5.7 million increase in other expenses such as personnel expenses directly attributable to generating revenue.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $45.0 million in depreciation and amortization expense and a decrease of $14.7 million in lease and related expenses for the nine months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025, primarily due to the Cloud Services Business being classified as held for sale until February 15, 2026, as well as due to the renegotiations of certain of our leases during fiscal year 2026.

<u>Selling, general and administrative expense</u>

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $100.0 million, or 150%, from $66.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to $166.8 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. The increase was primarily due to the overall growth in the business. The change in selling, general and administrative expense was categorized as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $81.5 million increase in stock based compensation primarily due to an increase in shares awarded related to the increase in headcount and performance stock awards granted during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025 as well as the lack of PSU cancellations during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** approximately $11.6 million increase in other selling, general, and administrative expense such as travel, computer and software expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $10.4 million increase in professional service expense primarily related to legal services provided on discrete transactions and projects, as well as general support of the business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approximately $8.1 million increase in personnel expenses, related to the increase in headcount period over period.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $10.7 million in lease and related expenses and a decrease of $1.0 million in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025, primarily due to the Cloud Services Business being classified as held for sale until February 15, 2026, which resulted in decreased depreciation and amortization recorded as well as due to the renegotiations of certain of our leases during fiscal year 2026.

<u>Loss (gain) on classification of held for sale</u>

Loss (gain) on classification of held for sale changed by $84.3 million, or 342%, from a gain of $24.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to a loss of $59.7 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. The loss during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 was due to the write down of the Cloud Services Business assets to their carrying value as of February 15, 2026 when it no longer qualified as held for sale. See further discussion above. Comparatively, the gain during the nine months ended February 28, 2025 was due to the receipt of $25.0 million of funds received in

Loss on abandonment of assets increased by $1.6 million, or 205%, from $0.8 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to $2.3 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026, driven by the write down of assets to their fair value upon disposal.

Interest expense, net decreased $4.8 million, or 20%, from $23.7 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to $18.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by a $22.1 million increase in interest income due to an increase in funds held in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and a decrease of $6.0 million in finance lease interest due to renegotiations of certain of our leases during the fiscal year 2026. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $21.4 million in loan interest expense and $1.9 million in issuance costs amortization as we entered into more debt arrangements during the nine months ended February 28, 2026.

<u>Gain on change in fair value of derivatives</u>

Gain on change in fair value of derivatives was $22.5 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026, due an increase of $19.2 million in fair value of our Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc.

***<u>Non-GAAP Measures</u>***

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under GAAP, we are presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures. We are providing these non-GAAP financial measures to disclose additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations by providing perspective on results absent one-time or significant non-cash items. We utilize these measures in the business planning process to understand expected operating performance and to evaluate results against those expectations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our core business operating results regarding factors and trends affecting our business and provide a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Management considers the Data Center Hosting Business and the HPC Hosting Business to be its core operations for long-run strategic and performance evaluation purposes. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the results of our Cloud Services Business. The Cloud Services Business is included in our consolidated financial statements and results of continuing operations. Due to its strategic role relative to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i66d95ea2682f4f00828366600deee8fd_7)</u>

the Company's core business, Management believes the Cloud Services Business results may obscure underlying trends in the performance of core operations when included in certain non-GAAP measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental measures to our performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and therefore, are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. Excluding the results of the Cloud Services Business in our non-GAAP financial measures removes revenues and expenses that are part of the Company's consolidated results and continuing operations and should not be viewed as measures or reflections of liquidity or profitability in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, we caution investors that the non-GAAP financial measures as used by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, investors should be aware that when evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be items that we may exclude for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of the adjustments to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the non-GAAP reconciliations provided below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

***Adjusted Revenue***

"Adjusted revenue" is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents revenue excluding the Cloud Services Business. Adjusted revenue is Total Revenue excluding Total Revenue from the Cloud Services Business.

***Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share***

"Adjusted operating income" and "Adjusted net income (loss)" are non-GAAP financial measures that represent operating income (loss) and net income (loss) from operations excluding the Cloud Services Business, respectively. Adjusted operating income (loss) is Operating income (loss) excluding operating income (loss) from the Cloud Services Business, and stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, (gain) loss on abandonment of assets, gain on classification of held for sale, accelerated depreciation and amortization, restructuring expenses and other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of our expected ongoing costs. Adjusted net income (loss) is Adjusted operating income further adjusted for interest expense directly attributable to the Cloud Services Business, gain on change in fair value of derivative, gain on change in fair value of investment, loss on change in fair value of warrants, loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in fair value of debt, loss on extinguishment of related party debt and interest expense on convertible debt. We define "Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share" as Adjusted net income (loss) divided by weighted average diluted share count.

***EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA***

"EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization and excluding results of the Cloud Services Business. "Adjusted EBITDA" also excludes results of the Cloud Services Business and is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, gain on classification of held for sale, gain on change in fair value of derivative, gain on change in fair value of investment, (gain) loss on abandonment of assets, loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in fair value of debt, loss on change in fair value of warrants, loss on extinguishment of related party debt, restructuring expenses and other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of our expected ongoing costs.

<sup>(2)</sup> Represents legal, accounting and consulting costs incurred in association with certain discrete transactions and projects.

**Sources of Liquidity**

As of February 28, 2026, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 billion and restricted cash of $377.2 million. Historically, we have incurred losses and have relied on equity and debt financings to fund our operations. We have primarily generated cash in the last 12 months from the proceeds of our term loans, issuances of common stock, preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, senior unsecured convertible notes, senior secured notes (issued by our subsidiaries) debt facilities and the receipt of contractual deposits and revenue payments from customers.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i66d95ea2682f4f00828366600deee8fd_7)</u>

We believe that existing cash balances, cash flows from operations, existing debt facilities, and access to capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our debt obligations, including any repayment of debt or refinancing of debt, working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, and other contractual obligations, for at least the next twelve months.

Given the project development nature of our business, we raise capital through public and private debt and equity issuances, as well as commercial borrowings, to fund this development activity. We are and expect to be constantly exploring, negotiating and consummating financing transactions, which may include refinancing existing capital arrangements as well as new issuances.

<u>Funding Requirements</u>

We have experienced net losses through the period ended February 28, 2026. Our transition to profitability is dependent on the successful operation of our business.

We expect to have sufficient liquidity, including cash on hand, payments from customers, access to debt financing, and access to public capital markets, to support ongoing operations and meet our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and all of our known requirements and plans for cash. We expect that our general and administrative expenses and our operating expenditures will continue to increase as we continue to expand our operations. We believe that the significant investments in property and equipment will remain throughout fiscal year 2026 as we continue construction of our HPC hosting facilities.

***Commentary on the change in cash flows between the Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026 and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2025***

<u>Operating Activities</u>

The net cash used in operating activities changed by $79.4 million, or 65%, from $122.3 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to $42.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. Activities that positively impacted operating cash flows during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 included stock-based compensation, loss on classification of held for sale and non-cash interest expense as well as a decrease in net loss between comparative periods. These positive impacts were partially offset by prior period activities which were not present in the current period, including losses on the conversion and fair value of debt. Other impacts included changes in operating assets and liabilities associated with energizing our first HPC data center at our Polaris Forge 1 campus during the current fiscal year.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

The net cash used in investing activities increased by $1.1 billion, or 242%, from $465.7 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025, to $1.6 billion for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. This increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.1 billion in investments in property and equipment during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 as our payments in the current period for construction of each of our Polaris Forge 1, Polaris Forge 2, and Delta Forge 1 campus data center facilities increased as well as an increase in investments in other companies. Additionally, there were no proceeds from sale of assets during the nine months ended February 28, 2026, compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to offset the increase in cash used in investing activities.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

The net cash provided by financing activities increased by $2.8 billion, or 343%, from $817.5 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 to $3.6 billion for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. The primary reason for the change was an increase in the net borrowings of long-term debt of $1.9 billion from the issuance of our 2030 Notes as well as an increase in receipt of net proceeds from offerings of our common and preferred stock of approximately $645.6 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2026. Also contributing to the increase was a capital contribution from our noncontrolling interest partners of $900.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $450.0 million in borrowings under our Convertible Notes which occurred during the nine months ended February 28, 2025 as well as an increase of $142.0 million in repayments of long-term debt during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2025.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from the information provided in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

*Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i66d95ea2682f4f00828366600deee8fd_7)</u>

within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of February 28, 2026, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended February 28, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Part II - Other Information**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings.

The Company, Wes Cummins, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and David Rench, the Company's then Chief Financial Officer, have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action lawsuit in the matter styled, McConnell v. Applied Digital Corporation, et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-1805, filed in August 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Securities Lawsuit"). Specifically, the complaint asserts claims pursuant to Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements regarding the company's business, operations, and compliance policies, including claims that the Company overstated the profitability of its Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Company's board of directors was not "independent" within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On May 22, 2024, the court appointed lead plaintiff and approved lead counsel, and on July 22, 2024, Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint which asserts the same claims based on similar allegations in the original complaint. On September 20, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On November 20, 2024, Lead Plaintiff filed his opposition to the Motion to Dismiss. On January 3, 2025, the defendants filed their reply in further support of the Motion to Dismiss. On September 8, 2025, the Court issued an order staying the Securities Lawsuit and administratively closing it pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss. See discussion in "Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies".

The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in the Securities Lawsuit. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company's results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.

*Derivative Lawsuit*

On November 15, 2023, a derivative action was filed in the matter styled, Weich v. Cummins, et al., Case No. A-23-881629-C in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the "Derivative Lawsuit"). The Weich complaint named as defendants certain members of the Company's Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer Wesley Cummins and purports to name the Company's then Chief Financial Officer David Rench as a defendant. The complaint asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste and unjust enrichment based upon allegations that the defendants caused or allowed the Company to make materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Company overstated the profitability of the Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Board was not "independent" within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On February 27, 2024, the derivative plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting the same claims as the original complaint.

On June 5, 2024, following briefing and argument on the defendants' motion to dismiss the Derivative Lawsuit, the Court entered an order granting the defendants' motion without prejudice and dismissing all claims against all defendants, including the Company, on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to plead (1) demand futility as to each of plaintiff's claims or (2) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The order dismissed all claims against all defendants, including the Company. The plaintiff can seek leave to file an amended complaint but to date has not done so.

The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in this action. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company's results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.

There are no other pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of the Company's consolidated operations.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on 2025 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.

------

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

*Series G Preferred Stock Offering*

On October 21, 2025, we entered into the fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the PEPA, dated April 30, 2025, by and between the Company and the investors signatory thereto, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the Third Amendment,in order to increase its access to capital to fund the continued construction and development of its Polaris Forge I data center in Ellendale, North Dakota.

The Fourth Amendment amended the PEPA to, among other things: (i) increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock, from $590.0 million to $1.6 billion; (ii) subject to waiver by a majority-in-interest of the investors, (a) set the maximum put issuance amount to $75.0 million per issuance, (b) set the limit to one put issuance per seven (7) business day period, and (c) set the maximum aggregate stated value of Series G Preferred Stock outstanding at any one time to $75.0 million; (iii) increase the original discount from 2% to 3%; (iv) eliminate the placement agent fee; and (v) eliminate the prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions (as defined in the PEPA).

The offer and sale of the Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, and the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock, is and will be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the nine months ended February 28, 2026, we have issued and sold 231,750 shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, all of which have been converted to shares of common stock of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein.

------

![](ex1016apldprojectpelican026.jpg)

(i) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code that: (A) is for relief against any Credit Party in an involuntary case; (B) appoints a custodian of any Credit Party for all or substantially all of the property of any Credit Party; or (C) orders the liquidation of any Credit Party; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) consecutive days; (j) any Note Document is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of any Note Document), or any Credit Party, or any Person acting on behalf of any Credit Party, denies or disaffirms its obligations under any Note Document; (k) the Note Documents cease to create a valid and perfected Lien of the priority required thereby on any material portion of the collateral purported to be covered thereby, except to the extent permitted by the terms of the Note Documents, or any Credit Party shall so state in writing; (l) a Change of Control occurs; (m) (i) a material breach by any party to or material default under any Material Project Document has occurred after taking any applicable grace periods into account or (ii) a Material Project Document shall terminate or cease for any reason to be in full force and effect; and (n) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are continuing, has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. In the case of an Event of Default other than one described in Section 6(h) or Section 6(i), at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Lender may, by notice to the Company, (i) declare the Loan and this Note to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loan so declared to be due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), including an amount sufficient to achieve the Base Return with respect to the portion of the Loan related thereto, and all fees and other obligations of the Company accrued hereunder and under the other Note Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company; and in case of an Event of Default described in Section 6(h) or Section 6(i), the principal of the Loan then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon), including an amount sufficient to achieve the Base Return then applicable with respect to the portion of the Loan related thereto then applicable and all fees and the other obligations of the Company accrued hereunder and under the other Note Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company.

------

![](ex1016apldprojectpelican027.jpg)

portion of the Loan related thereto in accordance with the Note Documents. For avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Company to pay amounts to achieve the Base Return with respect to the portion of the Loan related thereto shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Note) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means. THE COMPANY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ACHIEVE THE BASE RETURN WITH RESPECT TO THE PORTION OF THE LOAN RELATED THERETO. The Company expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (i) the Base Return Principle is reasonable and is the product of an arm's length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (ii) as established by the Base Return Principle, the obligation of the Company to pay amounts necessary to achieve the Base Return with respect to the portion of the Loan related thereto in accordance with the Note Documents is incurred on the date hereof (subject to subsequent extensions of credit by the Lender) and part of the Secured Obligations on the date hereof (as increased by subsequent extensions of credit by the Lender) and in all events shall be part of the Secured Obligations; (iii) the amounts payable to achieve the Base Return with respect to the portion of the Loan related thereto shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (iv) there has been a course of conduct between the Lender and the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to achieve the Base Return with respect to the portion of the Loan related thereto; and (v) the Company shall each be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay amounts to the Lender necessary to achieve the Base Return with respect to the portion of the Loan related thereto to the Lender as herein described is a material inducement to the Lender to provide the extensions of credit under this Note. In the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender will have all other rights and remedies available at law and equity. Section 7. Indemnity; Expenses. The Company shall indemnify Lender, and Lender's affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners and advisors (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Note, the Note Documents, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations under this Note, the Note Documents or the consummation of the transactions or any other transactions contemplated by this Note, the Note Documents or (b) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the 20

------

![](ex1016apldprojectpelican028.jpg)

extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parent against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Note Document, if the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parent thereof has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of the Company, Parent or any Affiliate therefore and that is brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee. The obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall survive the Payment in Full of the Note. The Company shall (regardless of whether the Closing Date occurs), pay (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of their counsel and other consultants, the reasonable travel, photocopy, mailing, courier, telephone and other similar expenses, and the cost of environmental audits and surveys and appraisals, in connection with the extensions of credit provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Lender as to the rights and duties of the Lender with respect thereto) of this Note and the other Note Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (b) all costs, expenses, assessments and other similar charges incurred by the Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Note or any Note Documents or any other document referred to therein and (c) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel or other consultants for agents or Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Note or any other Note Document, including their rights under this Section 7, or in connection with the Loan made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or similar negotiations in respect of such Loan (it is understood that, if any Credit Party fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Note Document, the Lender may itself, but shall have no obligation to do so, perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed on demand by the Company). Section 8. Miscellaneous. (a) The Company, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest, and any or all other notices or demands (other than demand for payment) in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, endorsement or guarantee of this Note. The liability of the Company hereunder shall be unconditional and shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence whatsoever granted or consented to by the holder hereof, including, but not limited to any extension of time, renewal, waiver or other modification. Any failure of the holder to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any time and from time to time thereafter.
