iPower Inc., a Nasdaq-listed technology company, announced on July 15, 2026 that it plans to evaluate a potential expansion into the AI infrastructure hardware sector, including the possible acquisition or financing of AI compute hardware and related infrastructure assets.

As part of this planned evaluation, the Company intends to explore opportunities involving high-performance computing equipment, data center operators and infrastructure partners that may support the deployment, hosting and operation of AI-related hardware. If implemented, the Company's strategy may include leasing equipment to data centers, compute operators, enterprise customers or other infrastructure participants.

Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Tan stated, "We believe AI infrastructure hardware may represent an attractive opportunity as demand for AI compute capacity continues to grow. At this stage, we are evaluating potential opportunities in a disciplined manner, including hardware acquisition, data center collaboration and equipment leasing models that may align with iPower's long-term strategy."

Tan added that this planned initiative remains at an exploratory stage and that any future investment or commercial arrangement will depend on market conditions, equipment availability, financing, due diligence, partner discussions and the execution of definitive agreements. He indicated the Company intends to provide updates if and when material developments occur.

The Company has not yet entered into definitive agreements for the acquisition, financing, deployment or leasing of AI infrastructure hardware, and there can be no assurance that the Company will complete any such transaction or that any planned initiative will result in revenue or stockholder value.

iPower describes itself as a technology and data-driven company executing a focused strategy at the intersection of AI infrastructure and real-world commerce. Through targeted investments in digital assets, infrastructure financing protocols and other AI-related opportunities, iPower seeks to participate in the growth of the compute, data center and infrastructure layers that support artificial intelligence.
