Following the previously announced Master Services Agreement with Orka Technologies Oy ("Orka Technologies") to co-develop AI infrastructure, this new Agreement secures a designated parcel of land located at Karsikkoniemenkuja in the Pellosniemi industrial area of Mikkeli. The total site covers approximately 101,071 square meters. The lease term spans three decades, providing a stable foundation for Aurora Core to construct the planned data center and related equipment in accordance with applicable local detailed plan regulations.

This substantial land lease is specifically earmarked for the construction of the AI Data Center project referenced in the Company’s December 15, 2025 announcement. Securing this site marks a critical step that moves the project from the strategic planning phase into tangible development. The Company views this long-term commitment as the physical bedrock for its future in AI infrastructure, demonstrating a concrete vision for the European market. The Mikkeli site was strategically selected due to its robust power infrastructure, favorable climate for energy-efficient cooling, and strong local government support facilitated by Orka Technologies’ expertise.
