Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (NUAI) on December 19, 2025. The report details a material definitive agreement regarding a joint venture and the completion of a real estate acquisition in Ector County, Texas.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
The filing does not provide standard financial statements (revenue, profit, cash flow, or margins) for a reporting period. Instead, it outlines specific transaction values:
- Total Acquisition Consideration: $70,000,000 for the purchase of SharonAI's 50% interest in Texas Critical Data Centers, LLC (TCDC).
- Payment Structure:
- $10,000,000 in cash (including a $150,000 non-refundable deposit).
- $10,000,000 in New Era common stock or other units.
- $50,000,000 via a senior secured convertible promissory note maturing June 30, 2026.
- Real Estate Acquisition: TCDC purchased an additional 203 acres of land for $5,100,000.
- Condition Precedent: SharonAI must reimburse New Era approximately $2,550,000 for its portion of the land purchase contribution by January 9, 2026.
Material Changes and Strategic Developments
The primary material change is the consolidation of New Era's ownership in TCDC. By acquiring SharonAI's 50% interest, New Era will hold 100% of the joint venture, which is developing a data center site with behind-the-meter natural gas-fired power. Additionally, the company expanded its land holdings in the project area by acquiring the "Additional 203 Acres" contiguous to a previous 235-acre purchase.
