Transaction positions Vulcan to advance more than 100 MW of immediate and near-term AI/HPC opportunities, alongside a 654 MW development pipeline across owned sites

PITTSFORD, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2026 / Vulcan Infrastructure and Power Inc. (NASDAQ:VIP) ("Vulcan" or the "Company"),a power and infrastructure platform focused on acquiring, developing, and operating energized sites that support artificial intelligence ("AI") and high-performance computing ("HPC") data centers, today announced the closing of its previously announced approximately $39.4 million strategic investment from affiliates of Machine Investment Group ("Machine") and Atlas Holdings ("Atlas"),^[1] together with institutional investors including Conversant Capital ("Conversant") and certain company insiders.

The transaction marks an important milestone in Vulcan's transformation into a power and digital infrastructure platform focused on sourcing, developing, operating, and monetizing energized assets to support the growing demand for AI/HPC infrastructure. The strategic investment was originally announced on July 20, 2026.

"This closing marks an important inflection point for Vulcan, significantly strengthening our financial position while bringing together capital, industry relationships, and operating expertise to support the next phase of our growth," said Jordan Kovler, Chief Executive Officer of Vulcan Infrastructure and Power. "With more than 100 MW of immediate and near-term opportunities at our owned sites, a 654 MW development pipeline, and a significantly broader opportunity set available through our strategic relationships, our focus now shifts squarely to execution.

Transaction Significantly Strengthens Vulcan's Financial Position

Upon closing of the transaction, Vulcan issued to the investors an aggregate of 17,146,190 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $1.71 per share and issued to an affiliate of Machine a $10.0 million principal amount senior secured convertible promissory note, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $39.4 million.

The Machine convertible note has an initial conversion price of $2.1375 per share, representing a 25% premium to the $1.71 per share purchase price in the transaction, bears interest at 10% annually on a payment-in-kind basis, and matures on the third anniversary of the date of issuance. Vulcan also issued to the Machine affiliate a three-year warrant to purchase 1,754,386 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.71 per share.

Vulcan intends to use the net proceeds primarily to redeem the remaining approximately $33.1 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.50% Senior Notes due October 2026, with remaining proceeds available for general corporate purposes, including predevelopment activities at the Company's operations in Dresden, New York, and Columbus, Mississippi. The planned redemption is expected to eliminate Vulcan's principal near-term debt maturity and provide increased financial flexibility to pursue development and growth opportunities.

Positioned to Execute on AI/HPC Infrastructure Opportunities

Vulcan currently operates a 104 MW power plant in Dresden, New York and owns a 34-acre development site in Columbus, Mississippi, where 40 MW is expected to become available by the third quarter of 2027. Vulcan has identified a 654 MW combined development pipeline across its owned sites.

The Company's post-transaction priorities include securing customers for up to 104 MW of near-term capacity at its owned sites, advancing development of those assets progressing approximately 510 MW of additional future capacity and pursuing acquisitions of additional energized assets and powered land.

Vulcan is also evaluating approximately 2.5 GW of potential capacity across 12 additional sites in the United States and Canada sourced through the Atlas portfolio and Machine and Conversant origination networks. These opportunities are incremental to the Company's 654 MW owned-site development pipeline and could provide Vulcan with a potential pathway to substantially expand its infrastructure platform over time.

Machine, Atlas, and Conversant bring complementary capabilities in powered-asset sourcing, industrial real estate, power generation, data center development, structured capital, and public and private markets. Vulcan believes these capabilities, combined with its existing operating assets, in-house power expertise, and public-company platform, enhance its ability to identify, develop, finance, and monetize infrastructure assets serving AI/HPC demand.

Additional information regarding the transaction and related agreements will be included in Vulcan's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
