Gorilla Technology Completes Acquisition of Shackleton Finance and Launches Gorilla Tech Capital

- New regulated capital platform to mobilise institutional capital for AI infrastructure, data centres and GPU-as-a-Service projects -

London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - July 1, 2026) - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence, IoT technology and data centres, today announced the successful signing and completion of its acquisition of Shackleton Finance Limited, establishing the foundation for Gorilla Tech Capital, the Company's dedicated regulated capital platform.

The completion marks an important step in Gorilla's strategy to pair its growing pipeline of AI infrastructure, data centre and GPU-as-a-Service opportunities with long-term institutional capital. Gorilla Tech Capital is expected to focus on raising capital from pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurers, family offices and other professional institutional investors seeking exposure to next-generation digital infrastructure.

The platform is intended to support the financing of Gorilla's expanding global project pipeline while reducing reliance on dilutive equity financing. Through fund structures and project-specific investment vehicles, Gorilla Tech Capital will seek to mobilise long-term capital into contracted or near-contracted opportunities across AI compute, data centres, cybersecurity, smart infrastructure and related digital assets.

"Today's completion is more than a transaction milestone. It gives Gorilla a strategic capital formation platform at exactly the right time," said Jay Chandan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Technology Group. "Our pipeline is growing quickly and our priority is clear: we want to fund that growth intelligently, with long-term institutional capital and without unnecessary dilution to shareholders. Gorilla Tech Capital gives us the ability to match world-class infrastructure opportunities with capital that understands the scale, duration and importance of AI infrastructure."

Deborah Hudson, Managing Partner of Gorilla Tech Capital, added: "Institutional investors are increasingly looking for disciplined access to AI infrastructure, digital compute and mission-critical technology assets. Gorilla Tech Capital has been created to provide that access through a regulated, governance-led platform. Our focus will be on building investment strategies that are institutional in quality, commercially disciplined and directly aligned with the infrastructure needs of the next phase of AI growth."

Gorilla expects Gorilla Tech Capital to become an important part of its broader financing architecture, sitting alongside traditional project finance, customer prepayments, vendor financing and strategic partnerships. The Company believes this structure can help accelerate delivery of large-scale projects while preserving shareholder value.

Any future fund or investment vehicle will be established and marketed only in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and eligibility requirements.
