Google credit support strengthens TeraWulf’s ability to secure competitive project financing for contracted AI infrastructure at Hawesville, Kentucky campus

Fluor agreement expands engineering and construction capacity, with defined delivery milestones

EASTON, Md., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated owner, developer and operator of large-scale digital infrastructure, today announced the execution of credit support agreements with Google LLC (“Google”) in connection with debt financing supporting approximately $19 billion of contracted lease commitments with Anthropic, PBC (“Anthropic”) at its Justified Data Campus in Hawesville, Kentucky (“Justified”). The Company also announced a definitive engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) agreement with Fluor Enterprises, Inc. (“Fluor”) on a GMP-basis for the development of Justified.

Together, these agreements strengthen the project’s financing framework and expand construction execution capacity, advancing TeraWulf’s strategy of converting long-term contracted demand into durable cash flow.

“We structured our Anthropic leases from the outset to address counterparty credit, financing costs and capital requirements,” said Paul Prager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TeraWulf. “Google’s credit support strengthens our ability to secure competitive project financing, while Fluor’s engineering and construction capabilities expand our capacity to execute at scale. Together, these agreements reinforce our disciplined approach to capital deployment and our focus on delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns.”

Google Credit Support Strengthens Project Financing

Under the credit support agreements, Google LLC, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., provides contractual credit support for anticipated debt financing supporting TeraWulf’s long-term Justified development. Alphabet’s senior unsecured debt is rated AA+ by S&P Global Ratings and Aa2 by Moody’s.

“Cost of capital is fundamental to infrastructure development,” said Patrick Fleury, Chief Financial Officer of TeraWulf. “Strong investment-grade credit support strengthens the project’s financing profile and our ability to pursue competitive long-term debt, reinforcing our focus on disciplined capital allocation and attractive risk-adjusted returns.”

Fluor EPC Expands Execution Capacity

TeraWulf has also executed a definitive EPC agreement with Fluor covering engineering, procurement and construction activities for three data center buildings at Justified, building on the limited notice to proceed announced in March 2026.

The agreement advances Fluor’s role from early engineering and pre-construction to a comprehensive scope encompassing engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning. It establishes defined delivery milestones, open-book cost reporting, procurement oversight and contractual performance protections. Guaranteed maximum pricing is being established in accordance with the agreement as engineering and procurement progress.

The partnership enables TeraWulf to leverage its experienced core development team while accessing Fluor’s engineering resources, procurement capabilities and established network of subcontractors and skilled labor. As labor availability becomes an increasingly important constraint on large-scale data center development, Fluor’s more than 100 years of experience delivering complex infrastructure projects provides meaningful execution depth and flexibility.

Under the EPC milestone schedule, phased ready-for-service completions are expected to begin in late 2027 and continue through the second quarter of 2028.

“Fluor gives us the ability to scale execution without building a global engineering and construction organization internally,” Prager added. “Their engineering depth, procurement capabilities and access to skilled labor complement our team’s decades of experience developing energy infrastructure. Together, we’re focused on delivering our customer commitments with disciplined cost management and clear schedule accountability.”

Building Long-Term Infrastructure Value

TeraWulf is an energy infrastructure company, pairing long-term access to power with contracted AI and high-performance computing (“HPC”) demand. Rather than investing in AI compute hardware, the Company develops and operates the underlying infrastructure, supported by long-term leases, investment-grade credit protections and disciplined capital allocation.

The Justified milestones follow TeraWulf’s recent expansion of contracted power capacity to 1 GW at its Muskie Data Campus in eastern Kentucky, reflecting continued progress across its development portfolio.

“Ultimately, megawatts alone do not create shareholder value,” Prager concluded. “What gives us confidence is what we have in the ground, what we have under contract, the investment-grade credit supporting those commitments and a team with decades of experience delivering large-scale infrastructure. We remain focused on execution and converting that foundation into durable cash flow and long-term value per share.”
