Proposed acquisition would add natural gas resources, power-generation potential and West Texas infrastructure-development capabilities
CONROE, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2026 / Olenox Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:OLOX) ("Olenox" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Wildboy Industries, Ltd. ("Wildboy") and Odin International, Inc. ("Odin") regarding the proposed acquisition of
Wildboy Holdings, Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wildboy Industries, Ltd., and IPD Industries, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Odin International, Inc. The proposed transaction would be completed by Olenox or a wholly owned acquisition subsidiary.
Through the proposed transaction, Olenox is seeking to expand its access to natural gas resources, power-generation opportunities and infrastructure-development capabilities. If completed, the acquisition is expected to support Olenox's strategy of connecting energy resources with power-intensive applications, including data-center and next-generation computing operations.
Based on information provided by Wildboy and subject to Olenox's due diligence, the Wildboy assets include a natural gas plant with stated processing capacity of up to 144 MMcf per day and interests associated with more than 180,000 acres in northern British Columbia. Wildboy has represented that existing wells could provide access to up to approximately 18 MMcf per day of natural gas, which management estimates could support approximately 90 MW of gas-fired generation, subject to generation efficiency, infrastructure availability, permitting, operating conditions and other factors. The assets are also located in a region with additional natural gas resources that may lack sufficient access to downstream markets, potentially creating opportunities for future aggregation, processing and power generation.
Based on information provided by the sellers and subject to due diligence, IPD has developed commercial relationships and project interests in the vicinity of the Waha Hub outside Pecos, Texas, within the Delaware Basin's Wolfbone trend area. According to the sellers, IPD's portfolio includes interests associated with more than 5,000 acres, natural-gas arrangements and development work involving electric infrastructure, substations, water infrastructure, on-site generation and merchant-power capabilities. The proposed acquisition is expected to include IPD's intellectual property and contractual rights, subject to applicable assignment provisions, third-party consents and the terms of definitive agreements.
"Reliable access to energy, land and supporting infrastructure is becoming increasingly important to the development of data centers and other power-intensive operations," said Michael McLaren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Olenox. "The proposed Wildboy acquisition could expand our access to natural gas resources and power-generation opportunities, while IPD could add relationships and development capabilities in one of the country's most active energy markets. Together, these businesses have the potential to complement Olenox's existing energy and digital-infrastructure platform."
Under the non-binding LOI, Olenox proposes to acquire
The proposed transaction remains subject to satisfactory due diligence, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, any required corporate, stockholder, Nasdaq, regulatory and third-party approvals, and other customary closing conditions. Because the acquisition terms of the LOI are non-binding, there can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be executed or that the proposed transaction will be completed by the target date, on the terms described, or at all.
