AMC ROBOTICS AND HIVE ANNOUNCE COLLABORATION TO ADVANCE AI-DRIVEN ROBOTICS COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE

12 Mar 2026

AMC Robotics and HIVE Announce Collaboration to Advance AI-Driven Robotics Compute InfrastructureThis news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s prospectus supplement dated November 25, 2025 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated October 31, 2025. San Antonio, TX, March 13, 2026 — AMC Robotics Corporation (Nasdaq: AMCI) (“AMC Robotics” or the “Company”), an AI-driven robotics solutions provider, and HIVE Digital Technologies (“HIVE”) (TSX.V: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (BVC: HIVECO), a global leader in sustainable digital infrastructure and AI compute, today jointly announced a strategic collaboration focused on advancing next-generation AI-driven robotics applications and scalable infrastructure capabilities.

Through this collaboration, AMC Robotics has begun utilizing HIVE’s GPU AI compute infrastructure and related services to support the Company’s expanding development, testing, and deployment needs. In parallel, the two companies are actively exploring broader areas of cooperation, including potential collaboration across AI optimization, data processing, and infrastructure scalability to support future product initiatives.

AMC Robotics recently featured its AI-powered quadruped robot Kyro™ at the Tokyo Security Show 2026, as an active demonstration of autonomous security technology. The robot serves as a mobile AI edge computing platform, capable of operating independently in complex environments and supporting real-time monitoring and inspection. During the exhibition, Kyro™ performed live demonstrations of autonomous navigation, abnormal heat detection, and remote operation, showcasing how robotics can support security and inspection tasks in challenging environments.

A video demonstration of AMC Robotics’ Kyro™ platform in action is available at https://amc-media.amcx.ai/rebotdog.mp4. Additional information on AMC’s robotic solutions can be found at https://amcx.ai/solutions/robotic-dogs/.

As AMC Robotics continues advancing AI-driven robotics applications, particularly for real-time video processing and navigation, access to scalable GPU computing infrastructure becomes increasingly critical. HIVE has been expanding its GPU AI Cloud infrastructure globally through its BUZZ HPC subsidiary, servicing growing enterprise demand across AI training, inference, and now robotics workloads, where it will provide AMC Robotics with the compute resources needed to support its growing development and deployment activities.

The collaboration reflects a shared vision between AMC Robotics and HIVE to accelerate innovation at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and intelligent infrastructure. By leveraging HIVE’s technical capabilities and AMC Robotics’ application-driven robotics platform, the parties aim to enhance performance efficiency, development flexibility, and long-term scalability.

“As we continue to expand our AI-driven robotics solutions, access to reliable and scalable infrastructure is increasingly important,” said Sean Da, CEO of AMC Robotics. “Our collaboration with HIVE supports our current operational needs while also opening the door to potential deeper collaboration as we look ahead.”

Frank Holmes, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of HIVE, stated, “We are seeing the next turn of the AI industrial revolution with the advent of robotics, for security, for logistics, and many new novel applications in manufacturing. This is accelerating as the autonomy, stability, and accuracy of AI-enabled robots evolve. These machines will take on the dangerous, the dull, and the impossible, and the companies building the infrastructure behind them will define the next decade. We are seeing massive investment from the most valuable companies in the world into AI robotics (notably Tesla’s Optimus robots), and the HIVE and AMC Robotics strategic collaboration positions our firms right in the center of these growing markets.”

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO of HIVE, said, “We believe robotics applications may represent a growing area of demand for AI compute infrastructure. As our GPU AI Cloud platform expands globally to service growing AI demand and broad industrial use cases, we see meaningful opportunities to work with AMC Robotics as it advances intelligent robotics applications across a growing range of use cases. As innovators in our respective fields, HIVE’s BUZZ GPU AI Cloud will provide scalable and high-performance compute for AMC Robotics’ ramp from lab to real-world deployment at scale.”

The companies emphasized that the collaboration is expected to evolve over time as HIVE scales its global infrastructure and AMC Robotics moves toward production deployment. Any future arrangements would be subject to further evaluation and mutually agreed terms.

US and European authorities said Thursday they had disrupted SocksEscort, a malicious proxy service used by cybercriminals to hide their identities while carrying out fraud, including cryptocurrency account takeovers.

The DOJ said the service compromised at least 369,000 routers and other internet-connected devices in 163 countries, giving cybercriminals control over proxies that hid their true IP addresses.

The platform reportedly enabled crimes, including bank fraud and cryptocurrency account takeovers, since 2020. In one case cited by prosecutors, a victim in New York lost roughly $1 million in cryptocurrency.

Authorities said they seized 34 domains, disrupted about two dozen servers across seven countries and froze about $3.5 million in cryptocurrency linked to the operation.

The network received at least $5.7 million from users

To access the proxy service, customers used a payment platform that allowed them to purchase it anonymously with cryptocurrency, according to a statement by Europol.

Investigators estimate that SocksEscort received at least 5 million euros ($5.7 million) from its users.

“Proxy services like ‘SocksEscort’ provide criminals with the digital cover they need to launch attacks, distribute illegal content and evade detection,” Europol Executive Director Catherine De Bolle said.

“Operations like this show that when investigators connect the dots internationally, the infrastructure behind cybercrime can be exposed and shut down,” she added.

The operation involved agencies from multiple countries

The takedown was part of a coordinated international effort that included law enforcement agencies from Austria, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Romania and the US.

The FBI Sacramento Field Office, the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General’s Defense Criminal Investigative Service, and IRS Criminal Investigation Oakland Field Office were among the US agencies involved. Europol and Eurojust provided investigative and operational support for the cross-border operation.

The DOJ also acknowledged the assistance of Black Lotus Labs, the threat intelligence unit of the US telecom company Lumen Technologies, and the nonprofit organization Shadowserver Foundation, which provided technical intelligence during the investigation.

According to The Hacker News, SocksEscort relied on malware known as AVrecon, details of which were publicly documented by Black Lotus Labs in July 2023.
