NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SharonAI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SHAZ) and its subsidiaries ("Sharon AI" or "the Company"), a leading Australian Neocloud, today announced the successful delivery and customer acceptance of an initial AI Cloud deployment for a global technology company with a major Asia-Pacific presence.
Customer acceptance marks the completion of a key milestone under the five-year AI Cloud infrastructure agreement, which has a total initial contract value of approximately US$950m. Acceptance also triggers release of cash security currently held in escrow.
The deployment is the first phase of this customer contract, and part of a series of additional NVIDIA GPU clusters that Sharon AI expects to deliver over the coming months. Under the agreement, Sharon AI is deploying AI Cloud solutions across multiple data centers in Australia, with revenue expected to commence in stages across the third and fourth quarters of 2026.
"Delivering AI infrastructure at scale requires coordinated execution across data center readiness, compute, storage, networking and customer integration," said James Manning, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sharon AI. "This successful deployment demonstrates our ability to bring together a global partner ecosystem and coordinate specialist teams to meet customer delivery requirements. The capabilities and operating discipline developed through this project strengthen our delivery platform as we deploy future clusters, bringing our secured and contracted capacity online, and supporting durable long-term growth."
Sharon AI has secured 212MW of AI Factory capacity, of which 120MW is contracted under multi-year take-or-pay agreements. The accepted deployment represents further progress in bringing this secured and contracted capacity online. The Company continues to advance its AI Factory platform to address strong demand for high-performance, sovereign AI infrastructure across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region.
