TAICHUNG CITY, Taiwan, Sept. 01, 2026 <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com" target="_blank">(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)</a> -- Agencia Comercial Spirits Ltd (NASDAQ: AGCC) ("Agencia" or the "Company"), a company whose principal business operations comprise both its established premium whisky business and the development of AI computing infrastructure and cloud-based computing services, today announced that its Indonesian operating subsidiary, PT. AGCC AITECH INDONESIA, has issued two Letters of Award, each dated August 28, 2026, to separate contractors for the supply of mechanical, electrical and plumbing ("MEP") equipment and related installation works for Phase 1A of the Company's planned AGCC-JKT01 data center in West Java, Indonesia. AI Computing Business Development Since launching its AI Computing Infrastructure Initiative in February 2026, a strategic undertaking now recognized as a co-primary business line, the Company has entered into a series of commercial and infrastructure arrangements supporting this principal business line, including a five-year computing technology services agreement with a customer in the digital financial services sector, power supply and data center land arrangements, and agreements relating to data center construction, network infrastructure procurement and technical support in Indonesia. The two Letters of Award announced today form part of the continuing build-out of this infrastructure. The Company continues to operate its established whisky business as an equally principal, complementary line of business. The two Letters of Award cover the supply of MEP equipment and the related installation works and have an aggregate reference amount in a range between US$65 million and US$75 million, exclusive of Indonesian value-added tax. Under their terms, each Letter of Award becomes binding upon PT. AGCC AITECH INDONESIA's receipt of a duly countersigned copy and operates pending execution of the applicable formal contract. The Letters of Award form part of the Company's continuing development of its planned AI computing infrastructure and cloud-based computing services in Indonesia. Together with previously announced arrangements relating to data center construction, land, power supply, network infrastructure and technical support, they are intended to support the infrastructure required for the Company's planned computing deployment. The Letters of Award are infrastructure procurement and installation arrangements and are not customer revenue contracts. They do not, by themselves, guarantee that the relevant computing infrastructure will be successfully completed or deployed, that contemplated computing capacity will become operational or be fully utilized, that customers will use the Company's planned AI computing services, or that the Company will generate revenue, profitability or positive cash flow from the project. The Company's AI computing infrastructure business is a principal business operation that the Company is actively scaling through dedicated capital expenditures, subsidiary structuring and long-term infrastructure contracting. Management Commentary "These Letters of Award represent another important step in the continuing build-out of our AI computing infrastructure business, which we are developing alongside our established whisky operations," said Mr. TSAI Yi-Yang, CEO of Agencia. "Since launching the initiative earlier this year, we have been putting in place the customer, power, construction, network and technical-service arrangements required to support deployment. Our focus remains on disciplined execution and on building the infrastructure and operational capabilities needed to develop AI computing and cloud-based services as a significant part of Agencia's future business." Management believes that the Company's planned infrastructure deployment, if successfully implemented, may provide an opportunity to participate in demand for AI computing capacity and related services in Southeast Asia. However, the Company's AI computing infrastructure strategy remains subject to significant business, operational, financing, construction, supply chain, technology, regulatory, customer demand and execution risks.
