TeraWulf Acquires Beowulf Electricity & Data, Streamlining Corporate Structure

May 27, 2025 16:05 ET | Source: TeraWulf Inc. EASTON, Md., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), which owns and operates vertically integrated, next-generation digital infrastructure primarily powered by zero-carbon energy, announced today the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Beowulf Electricity & Data LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “Beowulf E&D”). The strategic transaction simplifies TeraWulf’s corporate structure and eliminates a related-party relationship consolidating resources under a unified operating framework. Transaction Overview The total consideration for the transaction is approximately $52.4 million, consisting of $3 million in cash and 5 million shares of TeraWulf common stock issued at closing. The agreement also includes up to $19 million in contingent cash payments and up to $13 million in additional common stock, subject to the achievement of key milestones related to the expansion of TeraWulf’s data center business and project financing initiative. As part of the acquisition, 94 employees from Beowulf E&D – including Lake Mariner site staff and corporate support personnel – have transitioned to TeraWulf employment. In addition, the existing services agreement with Beowulf E&D, which had included substantial ongoing payments, has been terminated in conjunction with the closing. The Company’s previously announced 2025 cost guidance, including SG&A expenses of $40-$45 million and operating expenses of $20-$25 million, remains unchanged following the acquisition. Strategic Rationale The acquisition provides several key strategic benefits: Strengthened Vertical Integration and Energy Expertise. Beowulf E&D brings deep experience in the development and operation of power generation assets and related electrical infrastructure. Integrating this capability directly into TeraWulf supports the Company’s long-term growth strategy, especially as power generation becomes increasingly integral to high-power compute operations.Enhanced Access to Capital Markets. A simplified corporate structure improves transparency for debt investors and facilitates the creation of a repeatable, efficient process for accessing project financing in support of upcoming HPC infrastructure initiatives.Expanded Investor Appeal. The elimination of a related-party structure enables broader engagement with institutional and long-only investors who may have been constrained by related-party disclosures in prior filings. “This acquisition consolidates our operations under a single, unified structure,” said Kerri Langlais, Chief Strategy Officer of TeraWulf. “It enhances transparency, strengthens governance, and provides greater strategic flexibility as we pursue long-term growth and value creation. With all employees operating under one roof, we are well-positioned to scale our next-generation infrastructure and support the evolving demands of AI and high-power compute workloads.” The transaction was negotiated and approved by a special independent committee of the Company’s Board of Directors comprised entirely of independent directors (the “Independent Committee”). The Independent Committee consulted independent legal counsel Reed Smith LLP and received a fairness opinion from Piper Sandler & Co. in connection with the transaction.
