Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 30, 2026, Axe Compute Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Duos Edge AI – GPUaaS, LLC (the “SPV”), a Delaware limited liability company, which was wholly-owned by Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (“Duos”) prior to the acquisition. The SPV’s assets consist of 288 Supermicro B300 servers (2,304 GPUs) and associated networking equipment (referred to herein as the “cluster”). As consideration, the Company (i) repaid in full the SPV’s pre-existing debt of approximately $87.8 million and (ii) agreed to pay Duos a deferred purchase price of $715,000 per month for a period of 60 months, which must be repaid within the earlier of 12 months following closing of the acquisition or the date that the Company or any of its affiliates enters into a loan or other financing secured by the cluster. The acquisition closed on September 30, 2026.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

EXHIBIT 99.1
Axe Compute Takes Full Ownership of Georgia AI Cluster, Significantly Increasing the Contract’s Expected Free Cash Flow and Gross Margin
Non-dilutive transaction retires $87.8 million in asset-backed financing with no new equity issued; Duos and Axe Compute to expedite additional SPV site developments
Axe Compute’s AI Cluster Customer Agreement Extended to Five Years
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axe Compute Inc. (NASDAQ: AGPU) today announced that it completed its acquisition from Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (“Duos”) of 100% of the special purpose vehicle (the “SPV”) that owns the Axe Compute AI cluster in Columbus, Georgia (the “Georgia Cluster”) on September 30, 2026. At closing, Axe Compute paid off the SPV’s asset-backed loan facility of approximately $87.8 million, with no new equity issued. The remaining consideration consists of a $42.9 million deferred purchase price payable to Duos in monthly installments of $715,000, with any unpaid balance due in full by the earlier of twelve months after signing and the date Axe Compute enters into a financing secured by the Georgia Cluster. Axe Compute expects to pay the deferred purchase price directly from cash flows generated by the Georgia Cluster. Axe Compute expects to generate approximately $364.6 million in revenue over the life of the customer agreement, with a significant expected improvement to estimated contract gross margin. In addition, the Georgia AI Cluster customer agreement has been extended from three years to five years, running through 2031 with renewal options thereafter.
Under a separate agreement, Duos covers the facility’s colocation and energy costs for the full five-year term, so the Georgia Cluster’s power and facility costs are fixed for the life of the customer contract. Duos continues to own and operate the Georgia facility.
Located at Duos’ facility in Columbus, Georgia, the Georgia Cluster consists of 288 servers containing 2,304 NVIDIA B300 GPUs. This Georgia Cluster is a landmark deployment and demonstrates Axe Compute’s program for designing, deploying, owning and operating dedicated AI infrastructure for enterprise customers. Axe Compute intends to apply the same structure to future deployments under the program: a committed customer, infrastructure secured for the same term, and ownership of the compute hardware.
“In another validation of our partnership with Duos, we are taking this step so we can both focus on what we do best. Duos is a world class data center builder and we are fortunate to call them a partner,” said Christopher Miglino, Chief Executive Officer of Axe Compute. “Our customer is committed for five years, our power and facility costs are covered for five years, and we own our GPUs. That alignment is expected to significantly expand the margin profile and return on this existing cluster.”
“This is the right move for both companies, and our relationship with Axe Compute has never been stronger,” said Doug Recker, Chief Executive Officer of Duos Technologies Group. “It streamlines the Georgia structure so Axe Compute can focus on what it does exceptionally well, delivering AI clusters to its customers. Duos stays focused on what we do best, providing the power and infrastructure behind them, now under a five-year partnership.”
Details of the acquisition are provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Axe Compute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
