This is known as AI inference:\nusing trained AI models to process new information and generate outputs.\nRather than purchasing and operating its own specialised AI infrastructure,\nthe customer will access the service remotely while XDT manages the underlying\nsystems and day-to-day operation.\n\nDemand for AI computing capacity is growing as businesses integrate AI into\ntheir day-to-day operations. The U.S. Census Bureau Business Trends and\nOutlook Survey data showed that between 17% and 20% of U.S. businesses were\nusing AI between December 2025 and May 2026, with 20% to 23% expecting to use\nit within the following six months. As more businesses move from testing AI to\nusing it in practice, they require reliable computing capacity to run AI\napplications. This is creating demand for managed infrastructure providers\nsuch as XDT, which can operate dedicated capacity for customers that do not\nwish to build and manage it themselves.\n\nThe initial Order has a 60-month term commencing on the service-ready date and\na total commitment value exceeding $100 million. Subject to applicable\nservice-start conditions, XDT currently expects service to commence within\napproximately two months.\n\nSeparately, Quanome entered into a purchase agreement and related purchase\norder for 32 additional GPU server units at an aggregate price of\napproximately US$18.8 million. The units are expected to be delivered to a\ndesignated U.S. data center, subject to applicable commercial and operational\nconditions.\n\nThis is XDT’s first customer agreement and marks the next stage in\nQuanome’s development of its AI computing business: progressing from the\nplanned deployment of AI computing infrastructure to the delivery of long-term\nmanaged services for enterprise customers.\n\n“Securing XDT’s first enterprise customer agreement is a meaningful next\nstep in bringing our AI computing strategy into operation,” said Yang Li,\nChief Executive Officer of Quanome Technologies. “Our ambition is to help\nmeet growing private-sector demand for AI services and infrastructure. This\nfirst agreement marks important progress as XDT works to build long-term,\nrecurring revenue from managed AI technology services.”\n\nXDT forms part of Quanome’s Quantum and AI Systems strategic stream. It\nsupports the Company’s broader objective of developing commercially relevant\ntechnology platforms that help businesses access the computing capacity\nrequired to develop, deploy and scale AI applications.\n\nENDS\n\nNOTES FOR EDITORS\n\nMedia / Investor Relations Contact:\n\nLauren Callie \nwww.Quanometech.com\ninvestor@Quanometech.com\n\nEditors Notes\n\nAbout Quanome Technologies\n\nQuanome Technologies, Inc.
