In a move reflecting the accelerating consolidation within the AI infrastructure sector, RUM Group announced its expectation to acquire additional shares in Northern Data AG. The transaction aims to increase the group's ownership stake from the current 85.2% to approximately 98%. This strategic consolidation is designed to strengthen the group's control over the high-performance computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure provider.

Per market data, this acquisition underscores RUM Group's intent to fully integrate Northern Data's assets into its technology portfolio. Northern Data serves as a critical provider of computational power for advanced AI applications, making the stake increase to 98% a decisive step in securing operational control and future growth within this high-demand industry.
