FingerMotion Announces Non-Binding Three-Party MOU with Lyken.AI and BlueFlare and Provides Update on Alberta Corridor Gas-Supply Discussions
FingerMotion outlines a non-binding framework with Lyken.AI and BlueFlare and continues early-stage gas-supply talks for potential Alberta corridor projects.
Rhea-AI Summary
FingerMotion (FNGR) entered a non-binding three-party memorandum of understanding in September 2026 with Lyken.AI and BlueFlare to coordinate enterprise AI demand with potential behind-the-meter compute capacity in Western Canada.
The MOU sets a preferred, non-exclusive demand-to-capacity matching framework linking Lyken’s AI and high-performance computing client pipeline to modular behind-the-meter sites evaluated under FingerMotion’s existing BlueFlare alliance. Initial focus regions are Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, with other jurisdictions possible by agreement. The framework does not grant exclusivity, capacity reservations, minimum commitments or pricing and can only lead to projects through separate definitive agreements.
FingerMotion recently acquired a 9.9% interest in Lyken and continues multi-site development planning with BlueFlare, while conducting non-binding discussions with multiple natural gas and midstream counterparties on potential firm supply for planned Alberta corridor sites. No gas supply, offtake, financing or project-level agreements have been executed, and each opportunity will be evaluated case by case under customary technical, commercial, financing and regulatory conditions.

The memorandum of understanding is intended to operationalize Lyken as the customer-facing demand layer under FingerMotion’s existing BlueFlare development framework. The Company also reports ongoing, non-binding natural gas supply discussions for planned behind-the-meter generation at certain Alberta corridor sites. While these discussions are ongoing, no definitive commercial, supply, offtake or financing agreement has been executed.
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FingerMotion, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNGR) (“FingerMotion” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding dated September 2026 (the “MOU”) with Lyken AI Computing Inc., operating as Lyken.AI (“Lyken”), and BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc. (“BlueFlare”). The Company also provided an update on its working relationship with BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc. and its affiliates and on discussions concerning natural gas supply for planned behind-the-meter (“BTM”) generation at certain Alberta development sites.
The MOU is intended to establish a preferred, non-exclusive demand-to-capacity matching framework that connects Lyken’s enterprise artificial intelligence (“AI”) and high-performance computing (“HPC”) client pipeline and Platform-as-a-Service requirements with potential modular BTM capacity evaluated or developed under FingerMotion’s existing BlueFlare alliance. The initial geographic focus is Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, Canada. The parties may consider other jurisdictions by written agreement.
Further to the Company’s August 27, 2026 announcement of its owner-operator strategy, the MOU is intended solely to supplement and support the existing FingerMotion-BlueFlare development framework by adding a coordinated process for evaluating qualified Lyken demand. It does not amend, replace, supersede, expand or otherwise affect any existing agreement among any of the parties, including any rights, restrictions, approval requirements or exclusivity provisions. Those existing agreements continue to control their subject matter.
Three Complementary Roles
Subject to existing agreements, diligence and definitive documentation, the parties presently contemplate the following indicative roles:
- Lyken — the customer-facing demand and managed-services layer, including identification and presentation of prospective enterprise workloads, definition of indicative compute, power-density, cooling, networking, storage, security, data-sovereignty and service-level requirements, and evaluation of managed compute, server and token optimization and enterprise deployment support.
- BlueFlare — FingerMotion’s primary Western Canadian development partner for BTM site origination and qualification, natural-gas and other agreed power solutions, design and engineering, modular construction, commissioning, load management, and ongoing energy and site operations, within BlueFlare’s existing mandate.
- FingerMotion — the contemplated owner-operator and project sponsor, leading evaluation of whether the Company or a designated project affiliate would sponsor, own or operate a project opportunity, together with commercial structuring, project-level capital evaluation and public-company coordination. FingerMotion has not committed under the MOU to fund, arrange, backstop or guarantee any project.
Preferred Demand-to-Capacity Matching
Subject to the existing FingerMotion-BlueFlare framework, other existing obligations, third-party rights, technical fit and project-specific definitive agreements, the parties intend to provide Lyken with early visibility into potential future BTM capacity being evaluated or developed through that framework and a preferred opportunity to present and match qualified enterprise workloads to such capacity.
The preferred framework relates to demand matching and project evaluation only. It does not reserve, allocate or guarantee capacity, grant Lyken exclusivity, or create a right of first refusal, option or ownership interest in any site, power asset or project. No site or capacity will be held for Lyken unless the applicable parties execute a written term sheet or definitive capacity-reservation or other agreement that expressly provides for such hold. Any priority, allocation or participation right will be negotiated separately for the applicable project opportunity.
FingerMotion completed its acquisition of a
BlueFlare Development Relationship
Over the past several months, FingerMotion and BlueFlare have continued to coordinate on site development. BlueFlare serves as engineering, procurement and construction partner on the program and is expected to bring compute demand to campuses it develops. The BlueFlare relationship has progressed from a single-project discussion to a multi-site development program. The parties have not announced a new definitive commercial agreement in connection with this update.
Corridor Model
The Company’s corridor approach contemplates locating compute capacity along existing natural gas infrastructure and generating electricity on site, rather than depending solely on utility interconnection queues and available grid capacity. Under this structure, generation would be co-located with load, with the objective of contracting energy at or near the wellhead or gathering system rather than at delivered utility rates.
Management believes this structure, if successfully implemented, may reduce time to energization relative to grid-interconnected projects and may improve visibility on power cost, which is expected to be a principal operating input for high-density compute. These outcomes remain subject to site control, permitting, financing, construction, and the execution of binding supply and offtake arrangements.
The corridor model is being evaluated for the Company’s initial Alberta development sites, where site identification is an ongoing process. Site identification does not constitute a commitment to construct, and development remains contingent on customary conditions, including those described below.
Gas Supply Discussions
FingerMotion is in discussions with more than one natural gas supplier and midstream counterparty regarding possible firm supply arrangements to support generation at its corridor sites. Topics under discussion include terms, volume, delivery points, and pricing mechanics suitable for long-dated behind-the-meter generation.
No definitive supply agreement has been executed. There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in a binding agreement or, if an agreement is executed, that the terms will be acceptable to the Company. The Company intends to provide further disclosure if and when a definitive agreement is entered into.
Project-by-Project Development; No Capital Commitment
The parties expect to evaluate opportunities on a project-by-project basis. Advancement of any project opportunity is expected to be subject to conditions that may include satisfactory site control, fuel supply, generation or interconnection, equipment availability, networking and connectivity; satisfactory customer diligence, credit support and binding off-take; acceptable technical, environmental and operational reviews; sufficient financing on acceptable terms; required board, investment-committee, lender, shareholder, stock-exchange, securities, governmental, regulatory and third-party approvals; and compliance with applicable sanctions, export-control, anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering, know-your-customer, end-user, end-use, privacy, environmental, energy, data-center and securities laws.
Consistent with the Company’s disclosed strategy, the parties intend to evaluate project-level financing structures that may include customer prepayments, capacity deposits, equipment financing, debt, equity, special-purpose vehicles, third-party infrastructure capital or other sources. No party has committed under the MOU to provide, arrange, backstop or guarantee financing, and no party is required to issue securities or incur debt under the MOU.
The MOU is non-binding and non-exclusive, other than specified confidentiality, public-announcement, term, cost-allocation, governing-law and related administrative provisions, and records the parties’ present intentions only. It does not establish pricing, minimum capacity, revenue, capital commitments, ownership percentages or development schedules. A party may decline to participate in a project opportunity at any time before it executes an applicable definitive agreement. This announcement does not disclose or imply a new site, a specific amount of secured power or compute capacity, a customer contract, an off-take commitment, project financing or expected revenue.
Management Commentary
“We have consistently viewed Lyken and BlueFlare as complementary parts of the same enterprise AI infrastructure strategy. This framework advances the plan we announced on August 27: FingerMotion evaluates projects as contemplated owner-operator, BlueFlare remains our primary development partner in Western Canada, and Lyken contributes the customer-facing path to qualified enterprise workloads and managed services. We can then determine, project by project, which opportunities warrant capital and definitive agreements.”
— Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer, FingerMotion, Inc.
“The BlueFlare relationship has progressed from a single-project discussion to a multi-site development program. Securing firm gas supply remains a condition to converting identified corridor sites into contracted capacity and matching qualified Lyken demand to that capacity is how we intend to underwrite project-level capital rather than fund development from the corporate balance sheet.”
— Chris Polimeni, Chief Financial Officer, FingerMotion, Inc.
