Vertical Data's Disclosed Transactions, Revenue Estimate, and Planned Equity Raise

According to the filing, Vertical Data Inc. (common stock registered under Section 12(g), par value $0.0001 per share) reported a preliminary, unaudited revenue estimate of between approximately US$0.4 million and US$0.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2026. The company cautioned that "this estimate is preliminary and unaudited, is subject to the completion of the Company's financial closing procedures and the audit of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, and may differ materially from the Company's actual results," and that its independent registered public accounting firm "has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to this estimate."

The filing disclosed a planned private placement of common stock expected to raise approximately $4.2 million in gross proceeds before fees, to be conducted in one or more closings on or about November 2, 2026. The company stated that the issuance will rely on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The filing noted the company had previously shared the contained information with certain institutional and accredited investors under confidentiality agreements and filed the Form 8-K to satisfy a resulting public disclosure obligation.

Separately, the filing detailed several non-binding arrangements. A September 2026 term sheet with an unnamed cloud services provider covers approximately 16,000 NVIDIA Blackwell-generation GPUs for a sovereign government end customer on a five-year take-or-pay basis, with a potential aggregate contract value of approximately US$2.8 billion. A letter of intent dated October 5, 2026, covers approximately 8,000 NVIDIA Blackwell-generation GPUs at a European data center for five years, with a potential aggregate contract value of approximately US$1.4 billion. The filing emphasized that all arrangements remain subject to negotiation of definitive agreements and specified conditions, and that "there can be no assurance that any of them will be completed on the terms described or at all." The company also noted it has formed a jointly managed limited liability company with a European data center operating partner, though "no definitive agreement for the Company's use of the facility has been executed."
