Second cornerstone position in ROMA's AI/HPC strategy — pairing with its BlueFlare investment to assemble owned, energized infrastructure. NXTGrid's powered-land-first model targets approximately 65 MW of first-phase capacity in Bathurst, Birtle, and Medicine Hat, positioned to host high-performance computing on timelines the grid cannot match.

Hong Kong, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROMA Green Finance Limited (NASDAQ:ROMA) ("ROMA" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a five percent (5%) equity interest in NXTGrid Compute Power Inc. ("NXTGrid") for total consideration of US$15 million. The investment is ROMA's second cornerstone position in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing ("AI/HPC") infrastructure, following the Company's previously announced US$15 million cornerstone investment in the BlueFlare group. Together, these positions form the foundation of a deliberate, capital-disciplined program to build direct exposure to owned, energized compute infrastructure.

ROMA's thesis is straightforward: the binding constraint on the AI buildout is not chips or demand, but available power and time-to-energization. NXTGrid is purpose-built for that constraint. As a developer of powered land, NXTGrid secures and owns sites with committed power ahead of demand — converting them into energization-ready capacity that can host high-performance computing far faster than conventional, grid-queue-dependent development.

NXTGrid expects to own and energize sites in Bathurst, Birtle, and Medicine Hat, representing approximately 65 megawatts (MW) of first-phase capacity targeted to be powered before the end of 2026 — a concrete, near-term milestone rather than a long-dated ambition. NXTGrid intends for this initial phase to anchor a broader portfolio of distributed, owned powered-land sites across Canada.

The NXTGrid position complements ROMA's investment in the BlueFlare group and advances the Company's stated strategy of allocating capital toward powered land, behind-the-meter generation, and high-density compute assets positioned to serve accelerating AI/HPC demand. ROMA intends to pursue this program on a staged, disciplined basis, prioritizing cornerstone positions in scarce, deployable infrastructure.

"Powered, ready-to-energize land is the scarcest asset in the AI economy, and ROMA is assembling direct exposure to it," said Claire Luk, Chief Executive Officer of ROMA Green Finance Limited. "NXTGrid's 65-megawatt first phase, targeted to be energized this year, is exactly the kind of concrete, near-term capacity we want anchoring our platform. Paired with our BlueFlare position, it gives ROMA two complementary cornerstones in a single, coherent AI/HPC infrastructure strategy."

"ROMA's cornerstone backing validates our powered-land-first model and accelerates our path to energization," said Craig Mataczynski, CEO of NXTGrid Compute Power Inc. "Our focus is simple: own the land, secure the power, and be ready to host high-performance compute before the grid can. We are driving our Bathurst, Birtle, and Medicine Hat sites toward powered, year-end-2026 capacity."

The proposed investment is non-binding and remains subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements; there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on the terms described, or at all. ROMA intends to provide further detail regarding the transaction and its broader AI/HPC infrastructure strategy in subsequent disclosures.
