Host
Digital Authorizes $15 Million Share Buyback Program
Board
believes the current share price does not reflect the value of Host Digital’s contracted AI data center platform
NEW
YORK, NY, Oct. 20, 2026 — Host Digital Inc. (NYSE American: HOST) (“Host Digital” or the “Company”),
a developer, owner, and operator of digital infrastructure for artificial intelligence (“AI”) and high-performance computing
(“HPC”), today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously authorized a share repurchase program under which the
Company may repurchase up to $15 million of its outstanding common stock for up to one year.
The
authorization reflects the Board’s confidence in Host Digital’s long-term strategy and gives the Company the flexibility
to repurchase shares when it believes the market price does not reflect the value of its business, while continuing to prioritize the
financing and delivery of its contracted data center projects.
Host
Digital’s first project, Site I in northeast Oklahoma, is an energized facility with 55 megawatts (“MW”) of gross power
and 43 MW of critical IT load. The site is leased under a 15-year take-or-pay agreement representing approximately $1.25 billion in base-term
contracted revenue, with rent that increases 3% annually. The lease is expected to be supported by a backstop from a U.S.-based, investment-grade
global technology company, and the Company is targeting delivery to its tenant in the first quarter of 2027.
Host
Digital also continues to pursue the acquisition of a second energized and leased site in northeast Oklahoma from its sponsor, as previously
disclosed.
“The
Board authorized this program because we believe the market is undervaluing Host Digital and the assets it controls,” said Shawn
Matthews, Chairman of the Board of Host Digital. “We see an opportunity to build long-term value per share by repurchasing stock
at prices that do not appropriately reflect what this business is worth, in our view. We will weigh any repurchases against our project
commitments and other uses of capital.”
“Our
share price hasn’t changed the power available at Site I or the signed 15-year take-or-pay lease behind it,” said Harmol
Samra, Host Digital’s Chief Executive Officer. “We’re targeting delivery in the first quarter of 2027, and our top
priority remains financing, developing, and delivering our contracted projects. We’ll evaluate repurchases alongside those commitments
and our other capital needs.”
In
determining whether and when to repurchase shares, Host Digital will consider, among other factors, its liquidity and capital requirements,
development expenditures, anticipated cash flows, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of its common stock, and prevailing
market conditions.
The
timing, method, price, and volume of any share repurchases will be at the Company’s discretion. Repurchases may be made through
open market transactions, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, privately negotiated transactions, or structured transactions
arranged through investment banks, among other methods, in compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rules
10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares
and may modify, suspend, or discontinue the program at any time.
About
Host Digital

Digital Inc. (NYSE American: HOST) primarily develops, acquires, owns, and operates institutional-quality data centers in the United
States that support AI and HPC workloads. The Company focuses on RightScaled sites of 20 MW to 100 MW with existing or near-term access

estate, power, and data center infrastructure at each site, and provides turnkey facilities where tenants select and deploy their own
compute infrastructure and model layers. Host Digital is led by CEO Harmol Samra, formerly of PGIM, Starwood and ICONIQ, where they developed
a 2.2GW data center platform with 82 sites worldwide, and Chairman Shawn Matthews, the former CEO of global investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald.
