<div id="readability-page-1"><div> <div> Company Enters Public Markets with Expanded Customer Commitments, Strengthened Supply Chain, and Growing AI Infrastructure Footprint , /PRNewswire/ -- Boost Run, Inc. (&#34;Boost Run&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;), a provider of AI cloud infrastructure and high performance compute (&#34;HPC&#34;), today announced the completion of its business combination (the &#34;Business Combination&#34;) with Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. (&#34;Willow Lane&#34;), further strengthening its balance sheet with gross proceeds (prior to transaction expenses) of $134.5 million, representing the full Willow Lane trust account as a result of no redemptions being submitted. Boost Run delivers scalable infrastructure for enterprise AI and HPC workloads, including GPU compute, CPU nodes, managed Kubernetes, and shared storage through an intuitive console and API, all backed by SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 certifications at the operator level. Shares of the Company are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq on May 11, 2026, under the ticker &#34;BRUN.&#34; &#34;Today is an important milestone and we remain focused on execution. We built Boost Run to deliver trusted, high-performance AI infrastructure for customers that need control, speed, reliability, and compliance. Since announcing this transaction, we have achieved NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud validation, expanded contracted demand, strengthened supply and financing relationships, and increased deployment capacity,&#34; said Andrew Karos, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Boost Run. &#34;That progress reflects the operating model we set out to build: aligning customer demand with hardware availability, data center capacity, and financing to enable rapid deployment. We appreciate Willow Lane's partnership in getting us to this point, and our focus now is delivering for customers and shareholders as a public company.&#34; &#34;From the outset, we believed Boost Run was different. This was not a speculative capacity story, but a company built by proven operators with a trusted, compliant AI infrastructure platform, a capital-efficient deployment model designed to convert contracted demand into cash flow, and clear alignment across customer demand, hardware, data center capacity and capital. Since signing, that thesis has been reinforced by larger and longer-duration customer commitments, expanded ecosystem relationships, and meaningful third-party validation. We believe today's closing marks the beginning of Boost Run's next phase of value creation, and we look forward to supporting the company's long-term objectives as shareholders,&#34; said Luke Weil, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Willow Lane. &#34;On behalf of Willow Lane, I want to thank Andrew and the entire Boost Run team for their partnership, as well as our legal, banking, investor relations and strategic partners for their commitment, expertise and hard work throughout this process.&#34; Since announcing the business combination agreement in September 2025, Boost Run has: <ul type="disc"> <li>Achieved elite NVIDIA technical validation. Boost Run achieved NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud status on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, joining an exclusive group of global cloud providers validated against NVIDIA's highest cloud performance standards. The Company continues to build on its position as an NVIDIA Preferred Cloud Service Provider, supporting access to next-generation AI infrastructure in a supply-constrained market.</li> <li>Strengthened its relationship with Dell across hardware, software, and financing to provide scale. The Company entered into a $1.44 billion purchase agreement with Dell Technologies to support growing enterprise demand for AI compute and storage infrastructure. The Company also expanded its relationship with Dell Financial Services, which seeks to align flexible capital deployment with customer contract timelines.</li> <li>Expanded data center footprint to increase available capacity and geographic diversification: The Company has secured additional data center capacity in the United States, leveraging colocation economics while adding geographic diversity. Phased capacity activation aligned with hardware availability and customer demand ensures rapid deployment and customer onboarding.</li> </ul> Advisors BTIG, LLC, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, and D.A. Davidson &amp; Co. served as capital markets advisors to Willow Lane. Ellenoff Grossman &amp; Schole LLP and Ogier (Cayman) LLP served as legal advisors to Willow Lane. Winston &amp; Strawn LLP has served as legal advisor to Boost Run. Riveron Consulting LLC served as the equity capital markets and investor relations advisor on the transaction.
