FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR) bets on Lyken to enter North American AI compute
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
FingerMotion, Inc. (FNGR) reported that CEO Jolie Kahn issued a detailed letter outlining a strategic expansion from its China-based mobile data, payment, and recharge platform into enterprise AI and high-performance computing infrastructure in North America. The company plans modular, behind-the-meter data center projects, initially evaluated in Western Canada near natural-gas resources, with capacity added in stages and aligned to contracted or clearly demonstrable customer demand.
A key early step is the acquisition of a 9.9% equity interest in Lyken AI Computing Inc., which offers outsourced cloud-compute capacity and an integrated enterprise solution spanning compute, storage, networking, and deployment support. Management highlights specific milestones around due diligence, definitive project agreements, capital budgeting, permitting, and securing customers before committing substantial capital. The company notes it recently completed financing transactions to provide additional working capital and intends to deploy funds gradually, tied to diligence and binding commercial arrangements. The letter also emphasizes strengthened leadership, including newly appointed CFO Chris Polimeni, and reiterates a focus on execution, transparency, and long-term shareholder value, while cautioning that numerous risks could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 99.1
FingerMotion CEO Jolie Kahn Issues Letter to Shareholders
WEST PALM BEACH, FL / GLOBENEWSWIRE / August 24, 2026 / FingerMotion, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNGR)
Dear FingerMotion Shareholders:
Artificial intelligence is driving demand for computing capacity faster than the power grid can deliver. Conventional data centers take years to build and interconnect. FingerMotion intends to address this gap with modular, behind-the-meter compute infrastructure in North America—capacity built in stages, sited where power already exists, and matched to visible demand.
Since becoming Chief Executive Officer earlier this month, I have been working with our Board, management team and strategic partners to establish a disciplined path into the enterprise AI and compute-infrastructure market while preserving and strengthening FingerMotion’s existing business. This letter outlines the opportunity we see and the measured approach we intend to take.
The Board and management take their fiduciary duties seriously. Every decision is evaluated against the long-term interests of the Company and all its shareholders. Our approach emphasizes commercial validation, prudent financing, clear contractual rights, and disciplined capital deployment. We will not pursue growth merely to announce larger projects.
FingerMotion continues to operate its mobile data, payment, and recharge platform business in China. Management remains focused on improving efficiency, cash conversion, and profitability of that platform.
Our primary focus is a deliberate expansion into modular AI and high-performance computing infrastructure in North America. Rather than a single multibillion-dollar hyperscale campus, we are evaluating smaller, modular facilities that can be deployed incrementally in response to contracted or demonstrable customer demand. This approach is intended to reduce initial development risk and shorten timelines compared with traditional hyperscale projects.
A central element is access to reliable, economically attractive power. In Western Canada, we are evaluating behind-the-meter facilities located near natural-gas resources, allowing electricity to be generated and consumed on site rather than transmitted through the public grid. If successful, this model can provide greater control over power availability and cost while avoiding many grid-interconnection delays.
Our first step in the execution of our plan was the recent acquisition of a 9.9% interest in Lyken AI Computing Inc. (operating as Lyken.AI). Lyken provides access to outsourced cloud-compute capacity and is developing an integrated enterprise offering that spans compute infrastructure, secure storage, private low-latency networking, and deployment support. Many enterprise customers need more specialized infrastructure than retail colocation provides yet lack the scale to contract directly with hyperscale operators. That underserved segment is one of the markets we intend to address.
Progress will be measured against specific operating and commercial milestones, including:
| ● | Continued execution and improved cash management in our existing business; | |
| ● | Completion of technical, legal, and financial due diligence on the initial project; | |
| ● | Negotiation of definitive site, equipment, hosting, power, and construction agreements; | |
| ● | Development of a detailed capital budget, deployment schedule, and AI hardware procurement plan; | |
| ● | Confirmation of network connectivity, permitting, and regulatory requirements; | |
| ● | Securing customers or commercially supportable indications of demand before committing substantial capital; and | |
| ● | Integration of Lyken’s enterprise-compute capabilities and customer pipeline into the broader strategy. |
Capital discipline will be essential. The Company recently completed financing transactions intended to provide additional working capital. We intend to deploy that capital in stages, aligning major expenditures with completed diligence, binding commercial arrangements, and identifiable demand.
We are also strengthening the leadership and financial capabilities required to execute this strategy. My background includes serving as chief executive officer of a digital asset treasury company, general counsel to one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies in North America, and interim chief financial officer to several Nasdaq-listed companies, with experience structuring complex debt and equity financings, mergers, and acquisitions. Chris Polimeni recently joined FingerMotion as Chief Financial Officer. He brings more than 35 years of financial leadership across multiple industries, with depth in mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, SEC reporting, auditing, and financial planning—experience that will be important as we establish the financial controls, project-evaluation standards, and reporting processes needed for the Company’s next phase.
As a publicly traded company, our shares trade in the open market. Management does not control, and does not have visibility into, the identity of buyers or sellers on any given day, and we do not comment on individual trading activity. Our responsibility is to execute the strategy, communicate material information accurately, comply with our obligations under the federal securities laws, and work to create sustainable value. Credibility must be earned through execution, transparency, and results.
Constructive engagement is welcome. Shareholders with questions are encouraged to reach out through Investor Relations at ir@fingermotion.com.
In the coming months, our communications will focus on tangible progress: definitive agreements, validated project economics, customer relationships, financing arrangements, deployment milestones, and ultimately revenue and cash-flow generation.
I appreciate the opportunity to lead FingerMotion at this pivotal stage. Substantial work lies ahead, but the convergence of enterprise AI demand, distributed computing, and behind-the-meter energy creates an opportunity worth pursuing carefully and deliberately. The Board and management are committed to doing that work with financial discipline, transparency, and a clear focus on long-term shareholder value.
Sincerely,
Jolie Kahn
Chief Executive Officer and Director
