Employees and infrastructure are safe

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), America’s Bitcoin Miner® (the “Company”) today provided comments and updates on the impact of Hurricane Helene.

Statement from CEO Zach Bradford

In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s destructive path across the Southeastern United States, we extend our deepest condolences to the communities, families, and individuals who have suffered loss, damage, and disruption due to this catastrophic event. We recognize the immense challenges faced by those in regions where the storm has left countless without power, water, and other basic necessities. The loss of life, including first responders who bravely served during this crisis, underscores the severity of Helene’s impact. Our thoughts are with every person whose life has been altered by this hurricane.

The communities in rural Georgia, where our employees and their families reside and where we operate, have experienced this firsthand. The resilience shown by the affected communities and our employees, as they come together to support one another is a testament to the human spirit’s indomitable nature. Our teams have been working hand in hand with the local utilities to mutually support the efforts to bring power back online to regions affected. Their grit and commitment have been outstanding.

I want to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible teams who have demonstrated remarkable resilience and dedication in the face of this challenge. Your unwavering commitment to excellence, even under trying circumstances, has not gone unnoticed. The spirit of collaboration, grit, and perseverance you’ve shown is truly commendable. Thank you for your hard work, your adaptability, and for pushing through adversity with such determination. We continue to move forward and achieve our goals because of your efforts.

Most importantly, all our team members are safe. Additionally, our geographically diverse portfolio of sites allowed us to maintain approximately 10.5 EH/s at our sites in Northwest Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee throughout the storm. To ensure health and safety, and to avoid any undue pressure on the electrical grid, we shut 365 MW of our Southeast Georgia sites down as the hurricane began impacting the region.

Since then, we have been in regular communication with the local utilities to safely bring up the sites in a manner that ensured the local community was supported throughout the process. Within 24 hours, we were able to bring hashrate back to over 17.5 EH/s. We have now brought approximately 200 MW back online and expect to bring the remaining 165 MW online in the coming week after the utilities and communities around us receive power. The majority of the 165 MW remaining offline is projected to be restored to communities no later than October 4, 2024. Our teams are prepared to promptly restore normal operations as soon as power becomes available.

We have also thoroughly evaluated all of our sites and are pleased to report that we have experienced no material damage to any site infrastructure. We are not aware of any material losses related to our mining servers and will continue this evaluation as we energize the remaining sites. Our hashrate is currently at approximately 22 EH/s. When our sites are fully reenergized, we expect to reach standard operations at approximately 28 EH/s.

A KUKA global executive delegation, led by the Vice President of Midea Group, visited Centron for an on-site tour and in-depth exchange on the development of intelligent assembly manufacturing and global market trends.

WUXI, China, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Last week, a global executive delegation from the KUKA Group, led by the Vice President of Midea Group, visited Centron. The delegation comprised members of KUKA Group’s headquarters leadership team, together with business heads from multiple countries and regions.

As a leading global supplier of industrial robots and automation solutions, KUKA’s decision to visit with a delegation of this level reflects both sides’ shared interest in the development trends of intelligent assembly manufacturing. During the visit, the two sides held in-depth exchanges on industry developments, shifts in global markets, and potential areas of future synergy.

The delegation was hosted by Jed Wang, CEO of sister brand Leetx; Ouyang Su, General Manager of the Centron Product Line; Mike Wang, General Manager of the Centron Business Line; and Samuel Chen, Sales Director of Overseas Business. The KUKA executive team toured Centron’s manufacturing base and gained a first-hand understanding of Centron’s product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities in precision dispensing, potting, and trickling impregnation, and also received a briefing on Leetx’s positioning in intelligent assembly technologies, including tightening, press-fitting, and automatic screw feeding.

In the exchange session that followed, the two sides drew on their respective global business experience to share observations and exchange views on the pace of development in the Chinese market, evolving manufacturing needs overseas, the future direction of the intelligent assembly manufacturing industry, and the technology roadmaps of process equipment and robotic platforms.

Jed Wang, CEO of Leetx, commented: “We place great value on exchanges with globally leading automation companies such as KUKA. This visit by KUKA’s global executive team offered a valuable opportunity for both sides to deepen mutual understanding, share global market experience, and explore directions for potential future collaboration. As intelligent manufacturing continues to evolve, open dialogue and industry-wide synergy will open up new possibilities for innovation across the sector.”

This high-level visit also reflects a broader industry trend: the accelerating convergence of industrial robotics, precision dispensing, and intelligent assembly technologies. As vehicle electrification continues to advance, and as levels of automation continue to rise across vehicle assembly, power battery, and automotive component production, the coordination between robotic platforms and process equipment is becoming an increasingly important foundation for improving production quality, manufacturing efficiency, and process consistency. In light of this trend, Centron will continue to maintain open communication with partners across the value chain and to follow the emerging opportunities in intelligent assembly manufacturing with close attention.

About Centron
Centron is a high-tech enterprise that integrates R&D, manufacturing, sales, and customer service, dedicated to delivering advanced, reliable, and precise dispensing, potting, and trickling impregnation solutions for the automotive, e-mobility, energy storage battery, and industrial manufacturing sectors.

Sponsorship extends Hexaware’s association with franchise cricket to Europe

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hexaware Technologies (NSE: HEXT), an AI-first digital and IT services company, today announced its sponsorship of Dublin Guardians as an Official Partner for the team in the inaugural season of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL).

The sponsorship comes as franchise cricket establishes a new foothold in Europe, where Hexaware has operations and continues to build local teams and capabilities across the region. The first ICC-sanctioned ETPL in mainland Europe opened on August 26 with six city-based teams from Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands. The league also gives European players more opportunities to compete at a professional level alongside established international cricketers.

Dublin Guardians represents the Irish capital in the competition. Rahul Dravid, former India captain and coach of the 2024 T20 World Cup-winning side, is among the franchise owners. The team is captained and mentored by Ravichandran Ashwin, India’s second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.

“The opportunity to support local talent is an important part of what appealed to us,” said Parameshwaran Iyer, Executive Vice President, Head – UK and Europe, Hexaware. “The ETPL can give more players across Europe the chance to compete at a higher level and help strengthen the game from the grassroots up. We’re pleased to support Dublin Guardians as part of that effort.”

“I’m delighted to welcome Hexaware as a partner of the Dublin Guardians for our inaugural season. It’s exciting to have organisations like Hexaware that share our belief in teamwork, ambition, and excellence alongside us as we begin this journey,” said Rahul Dravid, Chairman, Dublin Guardians.

“Hexaware is a strong addition to the Dublin Guardians journey. Its focus on building local capability in the markets where it operates connects well with what we’re trying to do here,” said Ajit Ravindran, CEO, Dublin Guardians. “For us, that means creating more opportunities for local players to develop and compete at a higher level.”

The sponsorship follows Hexaware’s association with the San Francisco Unicorns in Major League Cricket in the United States, which marked the company’s first association with franchise cricket.

The ETPL is being organized with Cricket Ireland, Cricket Scotland, and the Royal Dutch Cricket Association. The first season runs until September 20, 2026. The tournament began in the Netherlands and moves to Malahide in Dublin on September 9.
