$192 Million Letter of Intent With a Global AI Developer
On September 15, 2026, Vertical Data announced it had signed a Letter of Intent with a global AI developer. The LOI contemplates an aggregate contract value of approximately $192.1 million over a five-year initial term on a take-or-pay basis.
Under the LOI, Vertical Data would deploy and operate 128 NVIDIA HGX B300 servers. That is a dedicated, single-tenant cluster of 1,024 NVIDIA B300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs. It is planned for an AI-ready data center in Western Europe and is engineered for sovereign AI workloads within the European Economic Area. According to the company, the deployment would include complete physical and network isolation, multi-petabyte storage and 24/7 managed engineering support. It is designed to align with data residency requirements and with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR standards. Service commencement is targeted for the first quarter of 2027.
The company states that the LOI includes binding take-or-pay and deposit obligations covering the full contracted compute and storage capacity at a fixed rate. The remaining commercial, operational, and delivery terms are non-binding. They remain subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive Master Services Agreement, which the company expects to finalize in the near term. The company also notes that the LOI does not obligate either party to complete the transaction. Performance is subject to conditions including financing approval, supplier and manufacturer allocation, export control compliance and completion of due diligence.
Canadian AI Infrastructure Deployment
On September 17, 2026, Vertical Data announced it had structured and arranged an AI infrastructure deployment at a single site in Canada, working in contract with an AI infrastructure partner in support of a global cloud provider. The deployment is expected to use NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 GPU infrastructure with managed services. It supports a multi-year cloud services agreement between Vertical Data's operating partner and its end customer. Vertical Data served as lead structuring and infrastructure partner.
Management estimates the infrastructure and procurement value at approximately US$189 million. The company states this figure is not recognized, contracted, or guaranteed revenue of Vertical Data. The timing and amount of any revenue will depend on its contractual entitlements, delivery schedules, and the timing of deployment.

They elected Deven Soni, David Hackett and Jaime Leverton as directors, each receiving 99.99% of the votes cast.
