Hunt Properties Provides Update on Midwest AI Data Center Lease and Partnership with Empery Digital

Lease Progressing Towards Execution

Reiterates Its Vote for Board Continuity at Empery Digital

Hunt Properties, Inc. (“Hunt Properties”) today provided an update on its joint Midwest AI data center investment partnership with Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: EMPD).

The 15-year triple net lease for the Midwest AI data center continues to progress, with an expectation of execution in the near term. The property is comprised of a 150-megawatt facility, with an owned substation and the opportunity to upgrade capacity to approximately 300 megawatts. Hunt Properties reiterates its belief in this project because of the finite amount of available grid power, the intense demand for compute and the ideal location of this property. Hunt Properties continues to pursue the best possible lease terms for the partnership and ultimate success of the project.

“We believe that the future success of our partnership relies heavily on Empery Digital’s current board and management team and the continued ability to execute upon our shared vision for AI infrastructure,” said Al Allred, Chairman of Hunt Properties. “We remain dedicated to working with the existing board and that is why we voted our shares to elect the company’s proposed nine nominees.”
