Star Metro - Alset AI Announces First Quarterly Renewal of Lyken.AI Cloud Compute Services Contract with Multinational Technology and Telecommunications Company

The renewal became effective May 6, 2026 and is structured as a three-month purchase order valued at approximately CAD$250,000. Based on current expected delivery costs, commissions and service charges, the Company expects net margin for the renewal to be approximately 5%. With the successful renewal now in place, Lyken.AI remains on track to generate approximately CAD$1 million in annualized recurring revenue from this client relationship, with the expectation of continued quarterly renewals throughout 2026. There is no guarantee that the customer will renew the agreement for any subsequent period, and the agreement does not contain any binding renewal obligation on the part of the customer.

Lyken provides access to outsourced cloud compute server capacity and related technical coordination and support services. The renewal reflects the continuation of services for the current quarterly period under the existing customer relationship.
