BUUU Group Limited Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Majority Stake in Brightray Science Inc. and Over US$60 Million of Private Placements, Making Industrialized AI Data Center Delivery Its Core Growth Business

Published

Six-to-nine-month delivery — half the conventional timeline; 70MW in operation in Johor, Malaysia; pipeline expected to reach approximately 2GW. BUUU is concurrently relocating its headquarters to Singapore and signing over US$60 million of private placements

SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BUUU Group Limited (Nasdaq: BUUU) (“BUUU” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 60% equity interest in Brightray Science Inc. (“Brightray”), a provider of fully integrated, prefabricated modular data center solutions. Founded by Mr. Bin Wang and previously supported by Tencent-affiliated investors, Brightray will become a consolidated subsidiary of BUUU upon completion of the transaction. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company intends to relocate its corporate headquarters to Singapore.

Transaction Overview. The purchase consideration will consist of (i) newly issued BUUU Class A Ordinary Shares valued at a fixed price of US$20.00 per share and (ii) a promissory note convertible into up to 10 million BUUU shares, subject to adjustment based on Brightray’s financial performance as measured by its audited annual net income following the closing and beneficial ownership limitation of 19.99% of BUUU’s total outstanding shares. Upon completion of the transaction, the sellers will retain a 40% ownership interest in Brightray, while BUUU will hold a call option to acquire the remaining interest during the three-year period following closing. The current management and board of BUUU are expected to remain in place, and Mr. Bin Wang will join BUUU as Executive Director and Co-Chief Executive Officer. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Why Brightray

Delivery, not demand, is the AI build-out’s rate-limiting step. Data center demand is set to nearly triple by 2030, to some 219GW; NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang expects US$3–4 trillion of AI infrastructure spending this decade — yet build cycles stretch years, skilled labor is scarce, and a month’s delay on a 60MW facility costs some US$14.2 million. Brightray industrializes the data center: over 90% of a facility is built, integrated and tested in its factory, compressing delivery from 18–36 months to six to nine — worth around US$200 million of extra revenue-generating life on a single 50MW AI hall (McKinsey; JLL; SemiAnalysis). The industry is going modular; among 80-plus vendors, few have Brightray’s delivered hyperscale record.

NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin DSX reference design recasts the data center as one system built from pre-validated modular blocks — value accrues to whoever puts AI factories on the ground fastest. Brightray’s platform evolves with silicon: air-cooled facilities accept B300 racks today; field-delivered liquid-cooled modules interface with GB300 NVL; 300–600kW Rubin-generation architectures are under joint design, alongside 235kW systems such as AMD Helios. Post-completion, BUUU intends to pursue reference-architecture qualification with leading vendors.

Brightray at a Glance

Three delivery models on one prefabricated platform — FPD (full prefabrication: 15–50MW blocks in six to nine months), IPD (interior prefabrication, roughly 7–14 months) and CPD (containerized) — span 13.5kW air-cooled to 132–144kW liquid-cooled racks, backed by an ISO-certified 126,000-square-meter manufacturing base with 300MW annual capacity. The flagship delivery, the 120MW Sedenak Tech Park campus in Johor, Malaysia, runs 70MW for leading internet and cloud customers — the first 20MW built in eight months — with 50MW more scheduled; Johor is Asia Pacific’s largest data center market (Cushman & Wakefield).

Pipeline and Singapore. Management targets roughly 1GW of deliveries over the next three fiscal years; the pipeline is expected to reach approximately 2GW — about US$9 billion in potential contract value — across Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the United States, subject to final agreements; no financial guidance is given. The Singapore headquarters puts BUUU beside the region’s customers, talent and capital markets.

Private placements. Concurrently, BUUU has entered into private placement agreements with certain investors that, together with the potential cash exercise of outstanding warrants at US$10.00 per share, are expected to generate aggregate gross proceeds of more than US$60 million. The proceeds are intended to support capacity expansion and working capital requirements. The financings remain subject to customary closing conditions.

Management Commentary

BUUU management said: “In the AI era the bottleneck is not the chips but the buildings, power and cooling they cannot run without. Brightray turned that bottleneck into a manufacturable product and proved it at hyperscale. We are acquiring the rate-limiting step of the AI economy.”

Brightray Founder Mr. Bin Wang said: “We made the data center one of the fastest parts of AI instead of the slowest. With BUUU we gain the capital base and international standing to take this model global.”

Minister Hodgson highlights Western Canada’s role in Canada’s energy and economic future

Published

on

By

PRINCE GEORGE, BC, Sept. 4, 2026 /CNW/ — Today, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, concluded a five-day tour across Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, highlighting how provinces, workers, Indigenous partners, researchers and industry are positioning Canada as a global energy superpower with the strongest economy in the G7. Across Western Canada, Canadians are turning global volatility into opportunities for strength: building a more prosperous economy; enhancing our national security; creating good-paying jobs; and unlocking Canadian resources and connecting them to global markets.

In Alberta, Minister Hodgson spent time with Todd Loewen, Alberta’s Minister of Forestry and Parks, visiting forest sector workers in the Grande Prairie region and meeting firefighters who have kept Albertans safe through wildfire seasons. They discussed supporting the forest products sector in the face of unjustified U.S. tariffs, pivoting Canadian industry to domestic and non-U.S. markets, and how Canada and Alberta can work together to keep communities in Alberta safe from wildfire.

The Minister also visited Suncor’s oil sands operations in Fort McMurray, meeting the people whose hard work powers Canada and reinforces our role as a reliable energy supplier amidst volatile global energy markets. Our government is working hard with our Albertan, industry and Indigenous partners to support our energy sector and build Canada into a prosperous, sovereign and sustainable energy superpower, including through the Canada–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding.

In Saskatchewan, discussions focused on the infrastructure, innovation and resources that will help power Canada’s future. Meetings with provincial counterparts, including Minister Chris Beaudry; municipal leaders; industry; and researchers at the University of Saskatchewan highlighted opportunities to strengthen electricity grids, unlock Saskatchewan’s critical minerals advantage and advance major projects. Visits to the Jansen Mine and the Saskatchewan Research Council’s Rare Earth Processing Facility demonstrated Saskatchewan’s and Canada’s growing strength across the critical minerals and nuclear energy sectors, from resource extraction and processing to advanced technologies and exports.

Minister Hodgson also joined the Honourable Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development, to announce nearly $12 million for businesses in Saskatoon, which are standing up against American tariffs by investing, growing and innovating in Canada, creating jobs, diversifying our supply chains and helping our nation become more economically independent.

The tour also featured two landmark moments that underscored Canada’s ambition to build major projects and strengthen long-term economic prosperity, national security and sustainability. In Saskatchewan, Minister Hodgson announced progress achieved at the McIlvenna Bay copper and zine mine since its referral to the Major Projects Office one year ago. In British Columbia, he joined federal, provincial and Indigenous partners for the groundbreaking ceremony of the North Coast Transmission Line, a transformative infrastructure project that will more than double the availability of clean, low-cost electricity on the West Coast; unlock natural resources projects like the Ksi Lisims LNG facility and critical minerals developments in the Golden Triangle; and create $10 billion in new economic activity and nearly 10,000 jobs.

Western Canada is helping drive a new era of Canadian prosperity, sovereignty and sustainability through responsible resource development, made-in-Canada innovation and a world-class workforce. By advancing projects of national interest, the region is unlocking Canada’s full potential and helping us build Canada Strong.

Quote

“In many ways, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia are the beating heart of our energy and natural resource sectors. This week, I saw first-hand the people, projects and partnerships that are building Canada Strong amidst the unjustified trade war we are experiencing. From responsible resource development and world-class research to critical infrastructure and energy innovation, Canadians are creating the conditions for long-term prosperity, security, sustainability and sovereignty.”

The Honourable Tim Hodgson
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources
