CHCI was down 1.83% while several real estate peers like OPAD (-10.74%), DOUG (-9.64%), NEN (-1.52%), ARL (-1.39%) and STHO (-1.11%) also traded lower.

Key Terms

letter of intent, private placement, share purchase warrant, exercise price, +2 more

6 terms

letter of intent financial

"announced that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI"), dated"

A letter of intent is a document that shows an agreement in principle between parties to work towards a future deal or transaction. It outlines their intentions and key terms, acting like a roadmap before a formal contract is signed. For investors, it signals serious interest and helps clarify expectations early in the process.

private placement financial

"non-brokered private placement (the "Financing") for gross proceeds of"

A private placement is a way for companies to raise money by selling securities directly to a small group of investors instead of through a public offering. This process is often quicker and less regulated, making it similar to offering a special, exclusive investment opportunity to select individuals or institutions. For investors, it can provide access to unique investment options that are not available on public markets.

share purchase warrant financial

"and one-half (½) of one share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each two"

A share purchase warrant is a tradable instrument that gives its holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a company’s shares at a fixed price within a set time frame. Think of it like a coupon to buy a product at today’s price later on; warrants matter to investors because exercising them can increase the number of shares outstanding (which can lower existing share value) and they offer a leveraged way to benefit if the stock rises above the warrant price.

exercise price financial

"Warrants will entitle the holder to acquire one (1) variable voting share ... at an exercise price of CAD$0.20"

The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.

hold period regulatory

"issued under the Financing will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable"

A hold period is a specific span of time during which an investor is required or expected to keep a security or asset and cannot freely sell it or realize its value. It matters because it limits liquidity and can affect tax treatment, risk exposure and timing of gains or losses—like a cooling-off or fixed-term commitment that prevents you from quickly cashing out even if market conditions change.

united states securities act of 1933 regulatory

"not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended"

A federal law that requires companies to provide clear, written information when they sell stocks, bonds or other investment securities to the public, and that outlaws misleading claims or fraud in those offerings. It matters to investors because it forces sellers to lay out the key facts — like a detailed menu for an unfamiliar restaurant — so buyers can compare options, understand risks, and rely on a legal framework if important information is omitted or deceptive.

TULSA, OK / ACCESS Newswire / February 12, 2026 / Jericho Energy Ventures Inc. (TSXV:JEV)(OTCID:JROOF)(FRA:JLM) ("Jericho", "JEV" or the "Company"), an energy innovation company positioned at the nexus of energy and AI infrastructure, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI"), dated February 11, 2026, with Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq:CHCI) ("Comstock"), pursuant to which the parties have committed to establish a strategic partnership (the "Joint Venture" or "JV") focused on the acquisition and development of land in and around Jericho's existing energy assets in Oklahoma.

Comstock is a diversified real estate organization with a 40+ year history of investing in, developing, acquiring, owning and operating virtually all types of residential, commercial, and mixed-use real estate, while providing supply-chain and management services to institutional investors, lenders, owners and municipalities with interests in real estate.

As part of the proposed joint venture, Comstock has agreed to invest in Jericho through an initial non-brokered private placement (the "Financing") for gross proceeds of USD$1.5 million, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

The Financing will consist of 25,684,932 units priced at CAD$0.08 per unit (the "Units"). Each Unit will be comprised of one (1) variable voting share of the Company (each, a "Unit Share") and one-half (½) of one share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each two (2) Warrants will entitle the holder to acquire one (1) variable voting share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of CAD$0.20 per Warrant Share, exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. In addition, the Company may, at its discretion and subject to investor demand, offer up to an additional 20,000,000 Units under the private placement on the same terms as Comstock's investment.

Comstock's Chief Executive Officer, Chris Clemente, is expected to join Jericho's board of directors following receipt of Exchange approval.

Net proceeds from the Financing will be used to accelerate development of Jericho's planned flagship AI data center campus and related energy-infrastructure in Oklahoma and for general working capital needs.

When consummated, the joint venture is expected to focus on assembling a portfolio of strategically located land that integrates Jericho's subsurface energy infrastructure assets with surface land interests, supporting the development of large-scale AI data center campuses and related digital infrastructure. Comstock is currently expected to contribute USD$6 million into the newly formed JV. In addition, it will have the opportunity, at its discretion, to either participate in a subsequent private placement financing to Jericho or cause an indirect capital contribution from the JV to be distributed to Jericho.

Brian Williamson, CEO of Jericho, commented: "We are pleased to welcome Comstock, a leading real estate investor and developer, as a major shareholder and strategic partner of JEV. Their investment validates the quality of our energy assets and our strategy to develop premier AI data center campuses integrated within our robust Oklahoma energy infrastructure. This partnership strengthens our platform and positions the Company well for its next phase of growth."

Chris Clemente, CEO of Comstock, commented: "We are excited to collaborate with Brian Williamson and the Jericho team. Comstock and Jericho will be focused on accelerating the planning of a world class AI data center campus and master plan on land indirectly controlled by Jericho thereby creating significant value for all stakeholders."

Closing of the Financing is subject to negotiation of certain definitive terms and conditions, including Exchange approval. The securities issued under the Financing will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada and the rules of the Exchange. The Financing is expected to close following conditional approval of the Exchange. No finders' fees or brokers' commissions will be paid in connection with the Financing. The Joint Venture and related transactions are subject to certain conditions, and there can be no assurances that any or all of such transactions will be consummated.

The securities referred to herein will not be or have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
